The current mission will see astronauts aboard the Orion capsule travel around the Moon before returning to Earth in 10 days' time. They'll be testing out the hardware and systems that could soon see Americans standing on the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years in the Artemis IV mission scheduled for 2028. NASA isn't ready to land people on the Moon just yet, but that's the aim for the next five years: to not only get people onto the Moon but establish a lengthy human presence on its surface.

Trump's Jan. 6 Speech Not Covered By Immunity: Judge Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), President Donald Trump’s speech in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, was not an official act and is thus not covered by immunity , a federal judge said in a March 31 decision. President Donald Trump at a rally in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. Jenny Jing/The Epoch Times “ President Trump has not shown that the Speech reasonably can be understood as falling within the outer perimeter of his Presidential duties ,” U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled . Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, 2021, was given to a rally at The Ellipse, about 1 mile from the U.S. Capitol. Lawmakers and others sued Trump, claiming his speech incited the crowd to go to the Capitol and riot. Trump had sought a dismissal of the lawsuits, arguing he is entitled to immunity for official acts as president and that the speech was an official act. Supreme Court justices ruled in 2024 that presidents enjoy immunity for core official acts, and presumptive immunity for acts within the outer perimeter of duties, but that unofficial acts are not covered. Mehta said that contextual facts, such as that White House personnel were not involved in planning the Jan. 6 rally, besides securing an exception for the placement of the stage, supported the position that Trump’s speech fell outside his presidential duties. The speech was made as then-Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress met in a joint session to certify the results of the 2020 election and featured Trump urging them to consider alternate slates of electors and saying he, not Joe Biden, had actually won the election. Mehta said the speech was focused on promoting his alleged 2020 victory, rather than on carrying out official duties, such as ensuring the faithful execution of laws. “ The content of the Ellipse Speech confirms that it is not covered by official-acts immunity, ” he wrote. Damon Hewitt, president and executive director of the Lawy...
