U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the expected launch of the Artemis 2 mission to the moon tonight at 01:24 (Israel time) - the first time since 1972 that astronauts are being launched to the lunar region. As part of the launch, three American astronauts and one Canadian astronaut are expected to take off in NASA's Orion spacecraft, which will be launched into space using a powerful SLS launcher, for a 10-day test mission around the moon and back. Trump wrote on social media that "America is returning to the moon!" and alluded to the war with Iran: "We are winning - in space, on the surface of Earth and everywhere in between - economically, militarily, and now beyond the stars."
