Reply to comment by Active-Device-8058 in NASA's Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft flies past record distance set by Apollo 13 by EricFromOuterSpace

It isn't human-rated yet. This test has to be passed first.

This capsule lacks most of the life support system, btw.

Edit: It's surprising how many sub members appear to think you can human-rate a spacecraft without flying it! Remember the challenges Boeing is still having with getting Starliner human-rated?
