On April 1, 2026, Artemis II launched from the Kennedy Space Center, the first moon mission in 53 years. However, not long after takeoff, the four astronauts on board made a grim discovery.
NASA’s Artemis II mission had a great start on April 1. Launched from Kennedy Space Center, the four astronauts onboard, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, began their journey to the Moon, which is the first moon mission in 53 years.
But a very human problem came up soon after launch. Just a few hours into the trip, astronauts on the Orion spacecraft reported a problem with one important feature: the toilet.
The issue might seem small compared to space travel, but it quickly became important for mission control because the crew needs it during their 10-day trip around the Moon.
Reports stated the problem was found early, and engineers worked with the astronauts to fix it in real time. Even though there was a problem, it was not serious, and NASA acted quickly to solve it.
