Artemis II

Artemis II successfully splashes down with all 4 astronauts —first crewed lunar mission in decades. First humans to travel to lunar distance since Apollo 17 in 1972. Clears way for Artemis III crewed landing.

SpaceX confirmed Starlink satellite (34343) suffered an unidentified anomaly on March 29 and broke apart in low-Earth orbit at ~560km; second breakup in just over three months; LeoLabs and SpaceX confirm no threat to ISS or Artemis II mission; debris caused temporary 10% orbital risk increase.
