NASA can be serious about science, but it also likes to have fun sometimes. The space agency has released an inside image of the Artemis I Orion spacecraft, inviting everyone to look for the hidden surprise eggs it hid inside the vehicle. By definition, these surprises contain fun puzzles, hidden messages, and visual references.
Twitter users are trying to solve riddles, and they give spoilers, so you may want to avoid comments if you want to solve it yourself.
Orion was the protagonist of a spectacular November launch that ushered in NASA’s new Artemis Moon exploration era. There are no people in the capsule, but it’s packed with many other items, including a mannequin dressed in an orange spacesuit, a Snoopy toy, and a demonstration of technology using Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant.
Look closely at the picture. Let’s see what interesting messages you can see inside the Artemis I Orion spacecraft.
