10 days? Hope they brought snacks
Seriously though I hope they're able to get up and walk around
I don't know if I could handle that 10 days in that small room

I've heard it feels a lot bigger once you're in freefall. Imagine if you could use all of your room's surfaces as floor space. I would think your room would feel a lot bigger.
They can move around after they switch from launch to spaceflight config. Apparently they also have some exercise gear for the journey.
It is just the capsule though? There's no stage under them/another cylinder? Module
Trying to imagine how big the thing is like 10x10 feet room
Just the capsule - there is a module but it can’t be reached and is for more engines that they will leave behind.
ABC News says 330 habitable cubic feet or about the interior space of two minivans.

I wonder if Starlink works if the dish is above the satellites. Technically GPS can work from the moon.

I don't think I would be bored in this trip!
Astronauts are made of different stuff. Truly the best of the best.
Forget about the snacks, I wonder about the toilet in 10 days in such cramped living conditions.
Toilet fan has already jammed. Not sure if this means the shit has, or hasn't, hit the fan.
They fixed it, fortunately:

I hope they will be able to stretch their legs on the moon.
They're not getting off at the moon, it's just a fly by.
... it's an orbital mission. They're orbiting the moon, not landing.
