This is CNN breaking news.

Welcome to the lead. I'm Jake Tapper.

The breaking news off the top two big stories in our out of this world lead,

the Artemis II making history at exactly 157 p.m. Eastern this afternoon.

From the cabin of integrity here as we surpass the furthest distance humans have ever traveled

from planet Earth, we do so in honoring the extraordinary efforts and feats of our predecessors

in human space exploration.

So amazing. The voice of Canadian astronaut there, Jeremy Hansen.

The Artemis 2 crew broke the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970, 56 years ago,

traveling more than 248,655 miles to be exact. But who's counting? Keep in mind, they're still going. Every second that

passes, they have broken another record in the next two hours. That crew is going to reach

its farthest point from Earth and make its closest approach to the moon. As we take live

pictures from NASA, the four astronauts

are in the middle of a seven-hour fly-by of the moon, describing the moon already as more

brown in color up close versus it appearing white and gray from Earth. It is the next hour

when these astronauts reach the far side of the moon that will be so crucial because

that's when the astronauts are going to briefly lose

communication with mission control. That's expected during our show around 6.44 p.m. Eastern. We're going to bring you these historic moments live as they happen.

The other big story today, we have breaking news in our world lead President Donald Trump today holding a news conference that lasted nearly 90 minutes as just over 24 hours remain until his 8 p.m. Tuesday

deadline. That's his latest deadline for Iran to make a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

If that does not happen, President Trump said, this is what will happen.

The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.
