我面对太平洋迎着微凉的海风，在圣地亚哥的Torry Pine 的最高点，架起了三脚架，调好了照相机所有的参数，准备迎接2026年4月10日17点07分这个将在人类历史有浓墨重彩一笔的时刻。
在我的Calendar上面，详细地记录着这么几行字：The Artemis 2 Orion capsule is scheduled to splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, California, on Friday, April 10, 2026, around 8:07 p.m. EDT (5:07 p.m. PDT). The crew will be recovered by a U.S. Navy vessel, likely the USS John P. Murtha, after a 10-day mission.
这就是我今天很早就背着几十斤重的三脚架、照相机和长焦镜头到Torry Pine山顶上的原因，就是想记录一下在我有生之年经历过的人类历史的里程碑事件。
今天的海边，多云的天气，不能看得很远。根据NASA的报道，Artemis 2 将于当地下午5:07分降落在距离圣地亚哥海岸50-150英里的海面上，我能捕捉到，Artemis 2号溅落的机会画面微乎其微，但是，这样的历史时刻，值得等待，值得一试。
Torry Pine 的山顶上，有很多人架着望远镜，架着照相机，等待着那激动人心的一刻。
太平洋，灰茫茫乌蒙蒙的，远处一点儿都不清晰。
我只有一边等待，一边听着Nasa 的直播。
- 7:33 p.m.: Orion’s crew module separates from the service module, exposing its heat shield for the spacecraft’s return through Earth’s atmosphere, where it will encounter temperatures of about 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 7:37 p.m.: Following separation, Orion will perform an 18 second crew module raise burn beginning to set the proper entry angle and align the heat shield for atmospheric interface.
- 7:53 p.m.: When Orion reaches 400,000 feet above Earth’s surface while traveling nearly 35 times the speed of sound. The crew is expected to experience up to 3.9 Gs in the planned entry profile. This moment marks the spacecraft’s first contact with the upper atmosphere and the start of a planned six-minute communications blackout as plasma builds around the capsule.
- 8:03 p.m.: Around 22,000 feet in altitude, the drogue parachutes deploy, slowing and stabilizing the capsule as Orion nears splashdown.
- 8:04 p.m.: At around 6,000 feet, the drogues release, and the three main parachutes deploy, reducing Orion’s speed to less than 136 mph.
- 8:07 p.m.: Slowing to 20 mph, Orion splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, completing the Artemis II crew’s return to Earth and a 694,481-mile journey.
安全溅落在圣地亚哥海域。
太伟大了，伟大的宇航员，伟大的NASA, 伟大的美国，伟大的人类！
The Artemis 2 将激励一代又一代的美国人为了理想而奋斗，加油孩子们，加油美国！
真的是太太太太伟大了！
