I truly struggle to get excited by the #artemis2 moon mission, but it may be good to know that once in space, the European Service Module provides air, water and propulsion for the mission. So this is a European project as well. Not too many people (even in Europe) have noticed this though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Service_Module
It makes the capsule roomier. And even Apollo did a bit of this. But it could be a major oops if they got cut off from this lifeline. There is probably some redundancy in the capsule itself.
This is really a reboot, using what we have learned, of a thing we did 50-60 year back. Getting back on the bicycle.
