Overview
- Flight controllers played Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club during Saturday’s wake‑up, but the track cut off after about a minute and drew a good‑natured complaint about missing the chorus.
- NASA said the crew will have about six hours Monday to view roughly 20% of the Moon’s far side lit by the Sun because the Sun, Moon, and Orion will line up.
- The crew is using backup urine collection bags after the capsule’s toilet faltered, with NASA probing possible freezing in vent lines following reports of odd and burning smells.
- The four‑person team — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canada’s Jeremy Hansen — launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 1 for a lunar flyby in the Orion spacecraft.
- Interest in the wake‑up pick also reflects recent headlines around Roan, who said a São Paulo security guard seen in a viral clash with a fan was not on her team.
