Glass Animals' Toilet Troubles: A Humorous Incident on the Artemis II Mission
Glass Animals, a popular band known for their hit song "Heat Waves," recently joked about causing trouble with the toilet used by astronauts on the Artemis II mission. The astronauts, who conducted a lunar fly-by, encountered issues with the Orion space capsule's toilet. In a humorous Instagram post, Glass Animals claimed responsibility for the toilet malfunctions, referencing a visit they made to Nasa headquarters where they sat in the Orion space capsule. Lead singer Dave Bayley jokingly mentioned losing a vial of tears in the capsule, sparking laughter among the crew.
Despite the toilet troubles, the crew of the Artemis II mission seemed unfazed by Glass Animals' antics and even enjoyed listening to the band's music while in space. The band expressed their excitement and gratitude for the astronauts' support, acknowledging the crew's inspiring journey beyond Earth. As the astronauts completed their historic mission around the Moon, Glass Animals playfully apologized for the toilet mishap but commended the crew for their achievements.
The Artemis II mission, which launched on 1 April, faced intermittent toilet issues during the journey. However, these minor inconveniences did not overshadow the crew's groundbreaking accomplishment of traveling further from Earth than any other human. As the mission concludes with a planned splashdown off the coast of San Diego, the crew's remarkable journey serves as a testament to human exploration and discovery.
