Summary
NASA’s Artemis II rocket blasts off for its historic moon mission. U.S. President Donald Trump uses a primetime address to tout gains in the Iran war but gives no timeline for its end – and threatens to bomb the country back into the "Stone Ages." We go inside the U.S. Supreme Court as a skeptical bench weighs Trump’s executive order to dismantle birthright citizenship. And Elon Musk’s SpaceX files to go public in what could be the biggest stock market listing.
