Drop everything you’re doing, this is the best thing you’ll see all day! A TikTok user shared the most amazing point of view of the Artemis II launch from her Delta flight … and you’re gonna wanna check it out.
It’s so cool … from a mile high in the air, you can see the Orion spacecraft rocketing out of Earth’s atmosphere on the way to the freaking moon.
The flyby mission to circle the moon and come back is maybe the most ambitious of the past 5 decades, and it’s already hit its first minor hiccup.
This is the first time a real toilet is being used for an expedition of this type — previously opting for waste collection bags — and they ran into a bit of trouble when the potty’s fan got jammed just hours after takeoff.

The issue forced the 4 astronauts to hold number 1 or use a backup system for a bit, but the problem has since been resolved. If all goes well, the astronauts should circle the moon and be back on terra firma April 10.
Godspeed and safe travels to the brave astronauts!
