NASA astronauts are poised to lift off Wednesday on a 10-day journey that will slingshot them around the moon, marking humanity’s return to the lunar vicinity for the first time in more than half a century. The crew’s Lockheed Martin Corp.-built Orion capsule, perched atop the Boeing Co.-made Space Launch System rocket, is set to launch at 6:24 p.m. local time from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission is a crucial, in-space dress rehearsal for the long-delayed SLS rocket and Orion capsule, and marks the biggest milestone yet in NASA’s multi-year Artemis campaign to land humans on the moon as soon as 2028. If the mission launches on schedule, the four-person crew will travel farther in space than anyone in history. President Donald Trump’s NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman, and former astronaut and US Senator Mark Kelly attended the send-off.Earlier, European Space Agency Director General Josef Aschbacher joined other NASA officials, lawmakers and industry executives walking the press site, conducting interviews.

    Trump Calls on Allies to Seize Hormuz as Frustration Mounts

    The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy.Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.US President Donald Trump called on other nations to wrest control of the Strait of Hormuz as Iran maintained missile fire across the Persian Gulf, expressing his frustration that the monthlong war remains unresolved.Countries that can’t get energy supplies due to the effective closure of the vital waterway should “go to the Strait and just TAKE IT,” Trump said in a social-media post on Tuesday.“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself” as the US “won’t be there to help you anymore,” he added, the latest sign he’s looking to exit a conflict that’s triggered a surge in oil and gas prices and stoked fears of a global economic crisis. “Go get your own oil!” he added.Stocks climbed and oil prices fell on hopes that both US and Iran might be looking for a way out of the war. WTI Crude was trading around $101 a barrel, travel stocks climbed and the S&P Energy Index turned negative, giving up an earlier gain of as much as 1.4%.Those moves came after Iran’s state news agency reported a phone call between European Union Council President Antonio Costa and President Masoud Pezeskhian, who said the Islamic Republic has “the necessary will to end this war,” but only with guarantees “to prevent the recurrence of aggression.” It wasn’t immediately clear if his comments represent a change in Tehran’s position.Tehran kept up strikes on Israel and countries around the Persian Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, with one attack hitting a large Kuwaiti oil tanker off the coast of Dubai. That was one of the most significant assaults on shipping since the US and Israel began bombarding the Islamic Republic on Feb. 28.Today's show features: Jennifer Welch, Bloomberg Economics Chief Geoeconomics analyst on state of ongoing Iran negotiations as Trump calls on allies to seize Hormuz as frustration mounts Peter Atwater, Financial Insyghts President & Adjunct Lecturer of Economics at the College William & Mary on K-Shaped economy amid Iran shocks Loren Grush, BN Space Reporter on Artemis II launch Stew Leonard Jr., Stew Leonard's President & CEO on consumer pressures in the grocery aisle amid Iran, pricier Easter & Passover tables See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
