I've helped build a lot of parts for the Launch Abort System
Hopefully, it will never be used

I knew they were orbiting earth before the slingshot around the moon.
I didn't know it was a 'holding' pattern.
At least they got it sorted so they can let it go!

It more than a holding pattern.
They are also test the docking and maneuvering systems use to mate with other spacecraft.

"holding" was a joke because they couldn't use the pisser until they got the toilet fan working.

From the article posted above, I love that they use the term "donation".
Quote"Happy to report that toilet is go for use," Mission Control's Capcom Amy Dill radioed back to Koch. "We do recommend letting the system get to operating speed before donating fluid, and then letting it run a little bit after donation."
