I saw that. I was saddened when Obama cut the budget for nasa a bit. That was a bad move. But now Trump is going to cut the budget MUCH more.

Oh my god, I hope nothing happens to them and this doesn’t turn into a thing like Apollo 13.

But, things have not gone completely perfect. There was an unexpected communications dropout, the toilet was not working properly, and they experienced several censor issues, which have persisted throughout the mission. A helium issue was also detected on the service module.

However, mission leaders reported that all problems had been overcome or mitigated through redundancies, as was the case with the helium. NASA leadership credited the enduring problem-solving to the way teams on the ground continue to work with the moon-bound crew in real time.

“It makes me very happy to see that, although we have some minor issues to deal with, the team operates very well, both on the ground—between our mission evaluation room, our flight control team—and with the crew,” Howard Hu, NASA’s Orion program manager, told The Epoch Times.

we have to also keep in mind the radiation in space pelting them from the solar flares going on! that might have something to do with their issues

They seem to be handling it well.
Although I don’t know if they would tell us if they weren’t.
