Artemis II Astronauts Return After Broken Toilet And Secrets

from Grep News

Four astronauts are hurtling back to Earth right now after flying farther from home than anyone since 1970, and they've been doing it with a broken toilet for ten days. Tomorrow afternoon they splash down in the Pacific after looping around the Moon on Artemis II—the first crewed lunar mission in over fifty years—but NASA just cancelled two critical safety tests mid-flight and nobody's explaining why. Oh, and the mission commander quietly named a lunar crater after his late wife Carroll during a fifty-three minute solar eclipse on the far side of the Moon, and there wasn't a dry eye in mission control.
