Artemis II Halfway to Moon

The mission, carrying three Americans and one Canadian, represents a major milestone in humanity's return to deep space exploration.

Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen have entered the third day of their journey, capturing landmark images of the lunar surface.

While the mission is progressing well, the crew has reported a burning smell and malfunctions with the $23 million waste management system.

NASA engineers are monitoring the situation as the Orion capsule approaches the historic Apollo 13 distance record.
