Now to NASA's historic mission. 
The astronauts are halfway to the moon with more than 100,000 miles to go before Monday's lunar flyby. 
Here's ABC's Andrew Dimbert. 
>> Tonight, four Artemis 2 astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft are officially more than halfway to the moon. 
>> Integrity Houston, uh, we have some news to share with you. 
As of 30 seconds ago, you are now closer to the moon than you are to us on Earth. 
>> A thumbs up from pilot Victor Glover. 
Wow, Jackie, thank you for sharing that with us. 
Uh we can see the moon out of the docking hatch right now. 
It is a beautiful site. 
We're seeing more and more of the far side and it's just a thrill to be here. 
>> Now more than 175,000 miles from Earth. 
NASA sharing these photos of the crew as they left Earth's orbit and now as they approach the moon. 
The crew of the Integrity, Reed Weisman, Victor Glover, Christina Cook, and Jeremy Hansen hard at work preparing the capsule for their historic lunar flyby. 
testing lighting and cameras and choreographing how they'll move around the cabin when they reach the moon. 
Checking deep space emergency communication systems. 
>> And with that, do I understand? I have a go in instruction 76. 
>> Christina ARM, you are go in 76. 
>> Exercising with that flywheel to prevent muscle loss and zero gravity. 
All in a capsule the size of two minivans. 
Meals and snacks are carefully planned and scheduled. 
>> I'm in the basically the kitchen. 
So over here we have a potable water dispenser. 
So that's just the kitchen sink. 
This is where we need to come to pour water in our glass and drink it or to rehydrate our food. 
On the menu for breakfast this morning, granola, scrambled eggs, vegetable kiche, mango salad, and sausage patties. 
And back on Earth, mission control in Houston is helping keep everything on track, working around the clock in three shifts as the astronauts on board this historic mission send back new images of Earth and their next stop, the moon. 
And the crew is expected to enter the moon's sphere of influence sometime tomorrow with that lunar flyby still on schedule for Monday. 
Rachel. All right, Andrew.
