Kinda glad about that, and when that crew are on the far side of the Moon and out of contact...they'd be the luckiest humans in the Galaxy.

Bliss....🌔 🚀

When the astronauts pass the far side of the moon, there will be around 21% of the far side illuminated and so visible for the astronauts. #Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #SLSrocket #ReturnToMoon #Europe #Space #science

NASA confirmed that at today's test, the pressure in the Orion spaceship was not reduced. It was part of the testing plan, but not needed. The reason why it was planned, is that they expect cabin pressure reduction in future docking maneuvers. #Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #Europe #Space

By Sunday afternoon, the Artemis II crew had traveled 218,012 miles from Earth. That means the spacecraft was a mere 60,000 miles from the Moon, with a lunar flyby set for Monday, April 6. The crew will get as close at 4,000 miles from the lunar surface as they swing around the far side, becoming the first humans to see it from that perspective (at least as far as we know 🤔).

NASA Artemis II tracker: Crew less than 60,000 miles from moon ahead of Monday flyby

The four-member crew successfully completed a "translunar injection burn" on Thursday, sending them out of Earth's orbit and toward the moon.
