And we've done enough of these where we have a ton of background on all that, but this was largely a new system.

There are definitely going to be details for each one of these where they could make improvements and tweaks and everything, but there was no major problems with any of that.

The Orion capsule itself, that's where people are, that appeared to have functioned really well.

It completely did its job of shuttling people through deep space.

So we have a whole set of data now coming that wasn't on Artemis I because there were people on board.

NASA says the crew tested life support, cabin atmosphere monitoring, food preparation, waste systems, communications, navigation, stowage, suit operations, emergency procedures.

They also performed manual piloting demonstrations.

And these are very important because the future missions, particularly when we land on the moon,

They're going to involve very complicated spacecraft operations, maneuvering, docking, all of these different things.

So they had to test that, you know, those systems were working properly.

And from the testing that they did, things are looking good.

But again, you know, NASA is going to be digging into this for a very long time.

So there's going to be more details coming out that we don't have now.

So in general, everything worked well.

And Orion did its basic job that it was created to do.

There were a few things that are worth talking about that happened.

One of them is this.

NASA, we have a toilet problem.

The toilet partially failed.
