Four small pieces of the moon on board NASA's Orion spacecraft have come closer to the lunar surface than they have been in the more than 50 years since they were collected.
The lunar samples' return home - or, at least, their quick flyby of the world from where they came - was part of a larger journey to prepare for people to do the same. The quad of dust specks, which were first brought back to Earth by Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969, came within 80 miles (130 km) of the moon on Monday (Nov. 21) as part of NASA's Artemis I mission.

Looks like the Artemis launch took a dump on the launchpad and some bits fell off, but no crucial bits

·Wow, I guess the launchpad wasn’t ready for all that. It is the most powerful rocket launched from there I believe.
