Artemis II is going so well that we're left to talk about frozen urine

Artemis II’s Orion spacecraft is performing well, prompting attention to a minor problem with the onboard toilet.

NASA engineer John Honeycutt said the toilet issue is not a mission risk but can complicate longer-duration stays.

The mission is testing life support and waste systems to identify fixes before longer deep-space flights such as Mars missions.

Debbie Korth described Orion’s overall performance as remarkably good, leaving frozen urine as a headline detail.
