Artemis II passes halfway point

Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen are currently settling into life in deep space while documenting their journey with advanced camera technology.

The crew reported a minor 'burning smell' from the Orion spacecraft's toilet, though Mission Control confirmed the system remains functional and the crew is safe.

As they approach the far side of the moon, they will soon break the record for the farthest distance humans have ever traveled from Earth.

This mission serves as a critical test for the Orion capsule and the Space Launch System ahead of future crewed landings.
