"'We did get a warning message for 'cabin leak suspected,' astronaut Hansen said in the crew's first live interview from space. 'This grabs your attention because...you go right from doing this burn and you're heading to the moon to thinking, "Are we going to have to cancel this burn, start getting into our spacesuits and figuring out how to get home in a day or less?"'"
The Artemis II crew, aboard the Orion capsule, received a cabin leak warning shortly after executing a translunar injection burn. This warning raised concerns about the safety of the mission, as a cabin leak could expose the crew to the vacuum of space. Fortunately, investigations confirmed that the cabin pressure remained stable, alleviating fears. The mission marks humanity's return to lunar exploration after over 50 years, with the crew now on a 685,000-mile journey to the moon, having completed initial safety checks and preparations.
