As the Orion spacecraft advances through deep space, the Artemis II crew is focusing their fourth day of the mission on final preparations for their lunar flyby, scheduled for Monday, April 6. 

After starting their morning to the sounds of Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club," astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen settled into their daily routine. At the time of their wake-up call, the crew was roughly  272,000 kilometers from Earth and was traveling toward the moon, located approximately 178,000 kilometers ahead.
