Artemis II crew nears the Moon

NASA's Artemis II mission is successfully proceeding through its fourth day as the crew travels deeper into space than any humans since the Apollo era.

Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen have reported seeing lunar features never before witnessed by human eyes.

Despite a minor technical hurdle involving a potentially frozen wastewater vent, Mission Control maintains that the spacecraft systems are performing well.

The mission serves as a critical test flight for the Orion capsule as humanity prepares for a sustained return to the lunar surface.
