Anyone watching the retrieval of Artemis I capsule on NASA-TV ? [View all]

It is very interesting to watch.

To think that this man-made object has traveled farther in space than any before it and returned to Earth.

It must be very exciting for all involved.

Last I had seen, they had tied it to pontoon boats with ropes, waiting for the ship to pick it up.

They showed a stand-by crew ready to assist loading it on the ship.

They mentioned a two-hour cooling off period for the heat shield and was somehow connected to ammonia on the capsule?

There is a ship on the distant horizon.
