From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today's Wednesday, April 1st.

Here's what we're covering.

I just landed in Houston. This is where NASA's mission control is for its first moon mission with humans on board in more than 50 years.

My colleague Katrina Miller is on the ground in Texas to track the launch of the Artemis 2 mission.

It's currently scheduled for tonight, barring bad weather or other complications.

The capsule, which will be carried into space on a 300-plus-foot rocket is set to travel around the moon, taking the

astronauts farther from the Earth than anyone has been since 1972.

Four astronauts are flying aboard the spacecraft. They will launch from Kennedy Space Center in

Florida. They will loop around the Earth and then do a trans lunar injection burn

toward the moon. Loop around the far side of the moon and then around day 10, they will

splash down off the coast of California. The crew will get to see and photograph the far side

of the moon, the part that we never see from Earth with their own eyes.

But ultimately, Artemis II is a test flight in a series of missions by NASA to return humans to the surface of the moon

and then hopefully eventually someday travel beyond it.

The U.S. has found itself in a space race once again, as China has said it's planning to try and land astronauts on the moon by 2030.

NASA, for its part, is hoping to pull that off by 2028, if this Artemis mission and the next few go according to plan.

We're finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer, to do the job.

In the Oval Office yesterday, President Trump said the U.S. will end its military campaign in Iran in the next few weeks.

And he promised to address the nation tonight with what the White House says will be an important update on the war.

I had one goal. They will have no nuclear weapon, and that goal has been attained.

Trump declared that the U.S. has completely eliminated any nuclear threat from Iran, a claim that is not backed up by any

evidence. Iran still has nearly a thousand pounds of highly enriched uranium, which could be used
