NASA's #Orioncapsule blazes home from #testflight to moon https://phys.org/news/2022-12-nasa-orion-capsule-blazes-home.html

Just here to say that the #KennedySpaceCenter is impressive - great immersive presentation for the #SpaceShuttle and definitely for the #Apollo program.

But most importantly we confirmed that the new #OrionCapsule for the #Artemis program will have a lavatory! #PoopingInSpace

Astonishing views from the #Artemis / #Orion #spacecraft as it disappears behind the #moon, out of sight of #earth… 🌍🌖🛰️
