NASA’s new rocket blows the doors off its mobile launch tower
"So far, NASA's ambitious Artemis I mission seems to be going swimmingly. The Orion spacecraft has performed a number of propulsive burns, flying smoothly past the Moon, and will now test out its capabilities in deep space."

I don't know about the "deep space" term that the media always likes to use. Compared to all the space out there, this seems to me to be pretty shallow space between the Earth and the Moon.
