Artemis Two: First Crewed Moon Mission in 50 Years

About this episode

Tune in tomorrow at 9:24 PM Irish time for a historic event: NASAs Artemis Two mission, the first crewed moon mission in over half a century. Four astronauts embark on a ten-day journey, covering 685,000 miles around the moons dark side, marking the farthest humans have ever flown from Earth. Following the successful uncrewed Artemis One test flight in 2022, this mission aims to test life support, navigation, and communication systems. After orbiting Earth, the crew will hand control to Houston for the deep space leg, circling the moon for three to four days before splashing down in the Pacific. Looking ahead, Artemis Three in 2027 will test commercial landers, and Artemis Four in 2028 will see astronauts touching down on the lunar surface for the first time since 1972. With China planning its own moon landing by 2030, the space race is heating up. Weather permitting, this launch will mark a significant milestone in human space exploration.

On March 31, Israel's parliament just passed the bill making the death penalty the default for Palestinians in the West Bank, convicted of deadly, terror attacks in military courts. This targets folks under occupation, creating a tougher legal path just for them, while Israeli civilians face different rules. The United Nations' rights chief slammed it hard, saying it's a straight violation of international law and could amount to a war crime if enforced. There, Israel has barely used capital punishment only twice in its history, way back in 1948 and 1962. Backlash is pouring in from all sides. Irish politicians like Sin Fein's Don Chade demands, and Lafayr called it callous and racially targeted, warning it risks mass executions without fair. Trials. Social Democrats echoed that, labeling it barbaric and one-sided since it skips Israelis in similar cases. The European Union sees it as a discriminatory setback, Germany won't back it, and Spain's Prime Minister said it edges closer to apartheid with, unequal punishments.

Aid groups like Oxfam and Christian aid are raging too, calling out the systemic oppression and demanding governments hit back with economic pressure. World leaders and activists are pushing Israel to scrap this fast, urging trade suspensions and legal blocks to stop it cold before it takes more.
