Artemis II crew passes halfway point

Commander Reid Wiseman and his crew are currently more than 150,000 miles from Earth as they pick up where the Apollo program left off over 50 years ago.

Despite the mission's success, the crew recently troubleshot a minor issue with the spacecraft's toilet involving a potentially frozen vent line.

The astronauts described the experience of the translunar injection burn as feeling like 'falling out of the sky' while they settle into life aboard the Orion capsule.

This mission serves as a critical test of deep-space systems before future landings on the lunar surface.
