Floating Nutella : Artemis II

About this episode

Kovi and Benjamin discuss the events aboard Artemis II, including humorous incidents and sentimental moments.

As they watched a jar of Nutella float by, Kovi and Benjamin knew right then and there they needed to do an episode about all the goings on aboard Artemis II. From a broken toilet to googly eyes on the CO2 scrubber to the toilet breaking again, it was quite the ride. But also all the sentiment - a message from the first astronaut to go around the Moon, a flag from Apollo 18 that never got to fly, and naming a crater after a loved one. Follow us everywhere!
