Artemis Two Crew: Deep Space Flyby & Lunar Pole Views

0:00The Artemis II crew is deep into their 10-day mission, pushing toward a big lunar fly-by on day 6 when they'll enter the Moon's gravity zone and could break the record for far this humans from Earth. On day 4, Victor Glover's grabbing manual control of the Orion spacecraft to test how it handles in deep space while the team reviews there, checklists for snapping picks and noting lunar features like craters and lava flows. Moral sky high up there, with Commander Reed Weisman calling the Earth Views remarkable and admitting they've lost track of days joking it's. Saturday back home, even if times blurring for them, they've got special geology training to describe the moon from about 4,000 miles out at closest approach, giving a full circle view of the poles that Apollo crews never saw of close like this. Meanwhile, that pesky toilet glitches back, likely from ice in the lines, so NASA's got them using extra back-up urine bags until engineers sorted, keeping the focus sharp as they sling around the moon ahead.
