It's just awesome to see from our spaceship, out the window, our beautiful home planet, the Earth.

With the Orion spacecraft now on the trajectory that will take it around the moon and back, the crew has more time to rest.

The four astronauts finally got to talk to their families back on the ground.

And they've been taking pictures.

Howard Hugh is the Orion program manager at NASA.

He says his favorite photo so far shows the inside of the spacecraft and one of its windows.

The astronauts have plenty of cameras on board, so there's more pictures to come, especially during their closest approach to the moon on Monday.
