Artemis Moon Mission Sets Record; Trump Sets Tuesday 8PM Deadline For Iran
NASA’s Artemis II crew set a new distance record, reaching roughly 252,760 miles from Earth during a lunar flyby and confirming Orion’s performance ahead of a planned 2028 Moon landing. The astronauts will splash down near San Diego on April 10 after a ten‑day test flight. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump issued an 8 p.m. ET Tuesday deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening strikes on Iranian infrastructure if the demand is not met. The ultimatum arrives as the conflict has already pushed U.S. gasoline prices above $4 per gallon, heightening market and security concerns.
