阿尔忒弥斯II号机组人员在圣迭戈海岸溅落至今已近一周时间，当这四名宇航员逐渐适应地球生活的同时，他们也有时间反思此次环月之旅的意义、任务中最令他们难忘的时刻，以及这次任务的全部内涵。
在接受《哥伦比亚广播公司晚间新闻》采访时，指令长里德·怀斯曼、任务专家克里斯蒂娜·科赫和杰里米·汉森，以及飞行员维克多·格洛弗分享了近距离目睹月球震撼地貌的生动记忆。
“对我来说，就是晨昏线，”格洛弗谈到自己最爱的任务环节时说道，他指的是月球上昼夜之间的分界线。他讲述了明暗过渡如何以一种意料之外的方式凸显出月球的地形。“我本可以花上整整时间来描述那一幕，”他说。
科赫表示，她印象最深刻的景象是月球地平线上海拔群山的轮廓。
“由于月球没有大气层，你可以清晰看到地形的轮廓，甚至能想象自己正在那里攀爬、探险和探索，那真的太震撼了，”她说。
而汉森则描述了他所说的月球背面看起来像“手印”的景象，他告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“里德和我花了很长时间谈论月球背面的这个手印。”
对怀斯曼来说，最难忘的是从太空目睹日食。
“这绝对是我在整个任务中看到的最独特、最出乎意料的景象，”他说。“它美极了，完全出乎我的意料。我的大脑根本无法处理窗外看到的一切。整个月球就在我们窗外那片漆黑哑光的球体中。”
但尽管目睹了所有这些千载难逢的绝美景象，机组人员仍然为回到地球感到无比兴奋。
“直到你远离这些舒适的事物，你才会真正珍惜家园、重力、 plumbing（管道供水系统）和淋浴，”格洛弗说，并补充道：“我的意思是，我最想做的就是回家，穿着我的运动裤瘫着。”
“返航后，我们一直在做大量科学、医疗和力量训练，”他说。“所以回来之后我们其实一直相当忙碌。而当我真的回到家，走进家门看到我的狗狗、我的妻子和孩子，然后扑通一下坐在沙发上，那种感觉真的很棒。”
对科赫来说，她表示日常生活如今“对我而言有了全新的意义”。
“如今我去海滩时，会抬头仰望蓝天，想象从极其遥远的地方看它会是什么样子——那时天空并非我们所见万物的背景板，而是渺小的，与周围的宇宙相比微不足道，”她说。
机组人员还反思了此次环月之旅对美国乃至全世界的意义，以及它带给他们的乐观情绪，以及他们该如何保留这份心情。
“我们等待了太久，这个国家和整个世界，都等待了太久才重返月球，”怀斯曼说。“用人类的双手创造出这样的成果，锻造所有这些金属，加注所有这些推进剂，然后鼓起勇气点燃引擎出发，那是一个令人无比动容的时刻。”
汉森表示，这关乎“对抗那种我们无能为力的感觉”。
“我深有体会，”他说。“世界上正发生着很多事，我感觉自己无力改变它们。但实际上，如果我们能记住，每个人内心都有与生俱来的向善之心，都有互相扶持、彼此帮助的意愿，那会让你感觉好受很多。”
“如果我们能记住这一点，每天起床后都尽力多做一点，尽我们所能让身边的世界变得更美好，那真的就足够了，”他说。
科赫说道，我们应该“永远不要忘记，让某个人和一项任务承载你的希望、你的真心和你的梦想随它远行是什么感觉，以及信任这个过程。要相信我们人类决定去做这件事，去完成如此伟大的事业，并且我们正在带回所有学到的东西——不仅是关于我们去过哪里，更是关于我们自身”。
怀斯曼坦言，无论全世界还是阿尔忒弥斯II号机组人员，最终都会“回归常态”。
“随着时间推移，这次任务的色彩会逐渐淡去，但永远不会褪去的是，我们作为一个全球整体走到了一起，我们共同庆祝，而且没有人要求全世界来庆祝这件事，是全世界自发这么做的，他们都站了出来，团结在一起，都被同一件事激励着，”他说。“这让我明白，我们依然拥有这种能力。我们所有人都拥有。如果我们需要团结起来完成某项任务，我们可以做到，我们可以在这个星球上创造奇迹。”
格洛弗回忆道：“我们早在2023年4月就开启了这段旅程，当时我们谈到，这不是马拉松也不是短跑，而是一场接力赛。……我们迫不及待想要交接接力棒了。”
Artemis II crew on historic moon mission and what it means for Earth: “We can do amazing things”

It’s been a little less than a week since the Artemis II crew splashed down off the coast of San Diego, and as the four astronauts adjust to life back on Earth, they’ve also had time to reflect on the scope of their trip around the moon, what their favorite parts of the mission were and what it all meant.
Speaking with “CBS Evening News,” commander Reid Wiseman, mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen, and pilot Victor Glover, shared vivid memories of seeing the striking features of the moon up close.
“For me, it was the terminator,” Glover said of his favorite part of the mission, referring to the barrier between night and day on the moon. He spoke about how the transition from light to dark highlighted the topography of the moon in a way he wasn’t expecting. “I could have spent just the entire time describing that part,” he said.
Koch said the best thing she saw was the outline of the mountains of the moon on its horizon.
“Because there’s no atmosphere, you could see the outline of terrain, you could imagine yourself climbing it, adventuring and exploring there, it was truly awesome,” she said.
Hansen, meanwhile, described what he said looked like a “handprint” on the far side of the moon, telling CBS News, “Reid and I spent a lot of time talking about this handprint on the backside of the moon.”
For Wiseman, it was seeing a solar eclipse from space.
“It was the most unique thing and the most unexpected thing I think that I saw for sure on this entire mission,” he said. “It was beautiful and just completely unexpected. My brain could not process what I was looking at out the window. The entire moon in a dark matte black sphere right outside our window.”

But despite all those fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime sights, the crew is still thrilled to be back home.
“I don’t think you appreciate home and gravity and plumbing and showers until you leave the comfort of those things,” Glover said, adding, “I mean, my favorite thing to do is to just go home and sit in my sweatpants.”
“We have been doing lots of science and medical and strength training,” since returning, he said. “So we’ve actually been pretty busy since we’ve been back. And when I do get home, it’s just nice to walk in the door and see my dog and see my wife and my kids and just plop down on the couch.”
For Koch, she said the everyday has “taken on a new light for me.”
“When I go to the beach now, I look up at the blue sky and imagine what it looks like from really, really far away, where it wasn’t an absolute, it wasn’t just a background of everything we see, it was small, compared to the universe around it,” she said.
The crew also reflected on what their trip around the moon meant to the U.S. and the rest of the world, and the optimism it brought them and how they can hold onto those feelings.
“We have waited, this nation and the world, has waited a long time to head back to the moon,” Wiseman said. “And to create something with human hands, to bend all of that metal, to fuel that up with all of the propellant, and then to actually have the courage to light the engines and go, it is an overwhelming moment.”
Hansen says it’s about “fighting the sense that we’re powerless.”
“I feel that,” he said. “There’s things happening in the world, and I feel powerless to affect them. But really, if we just remember that inside every human being is an innate desire to do good, to lift one another up to help one another, that makes you feel good.”
“If we just remember that, and every day we get up and just try to do a little bit, just do our best to make the world around us a better place, that’s really all it’s gonna take,” he said.

Koch said we should “never forget what it was like to let someone and a mission carry your hopes, your heart, and your dreams with it. And to trust in that process. To trust that we humans decided to do this, to do something so great, and that we are carrying back everything we learned, not only about where we went but ourselves.”
Wiseman conceded both the world and the Artemis II crew will eventually “go back to normal.”
“The color of this mission will mute out over time, but the thing that will never mute out is that we did come together as a world and we did celebrate, and no one asked the world to celebrate this, the world did that, they all stood up, they all came together, they all got motivated by one thing,” he said. “And what that tells me is we still have it. We all still have it. And if we need to come together and execute, we can come together, and we can do amazing things on this planet.”
Glover recalled, “We started this journey back in April 2023, talking about how this was not a marathon or sprint, but a relay race. … We can’t wait to hand off those batons.”
