Amazingly, it has been 4 days and it is already closer to Moon than Earth.

As of 9 A.M. EDT on April 4, the Orion spacecraft was more than 160,000 miles from Earth, less than 120,000 miles away from the moon and traveling around 2,540 miles per hour.

More of a slow creep than a cliff. That’s… not exactly comforting, but okay.
