The four astronauts, three Americans and one Canadian, got some tips from Mission Control, and astronaut Christina Koch made it work with a few. Plumbing hacks. The Orion capsule is chilly at 65 degrees Fahrenheit, so they're pulling out long-sleeved gear from suitcases while the team works on heating. It up. Meanwhile, the crew is set to break free from Earth's orbit Thursday night for their moon flyby. The first trans lunar push since Apollo wrapped up in, 1972. From tens of thousands of miles up, the views are blowing their minds. Koch, who did a year at the South Pole before NASA, said they can spot full coastlines and even her old Antarctic spot. Absolutely phenomenal stuff. This test flight wraps with a Pacific splashdown on April 10th, paving the way for moon landings
