Alarm on spacecraft heading to the Moon? Astronauts report 'burning

An unusual odor, described as a "burning smell," was recently reported from the toilet of the Orion spacecraft, part of the Artemis II mission, which is headed to Hwnws.

Astronaut Christina Koch radioed mission control several times about this strange smell.

Initially, the crew suspected that the insulation of the toilet door could be the cause, but later announced that they did not think the door was the source of the odor.

Despite the situation, astronauts are allowed to continue using the restroom. Mission controllers said there are no serious concerns, but they will continue to monitor the situation.
