The four-person crew aboard NASA’s Artemis II mission can finally breathe a sigh of relief, or at least use the restroom, after flight controllers successfully guided them through fixing a jammed toilet fan just hours into their historic deep-space lunar flyby. Mission specialist Christina Koch, the sole woman on the 10-day journey, first reported the issue to Mission Control shortly after the breathtaking liftoff from Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday.
NASA spokesperson Gary Jordan confirmed the problem during live mission commentary, explaining that the toilet fan was jammed. According to the NY Post, ground teams immediately sprang into action, working to provide instructions on how the crew could access and clear the area to get the high-tech toilet back online.
