This rather creepy photo is Artemis II’s heat shield underwater, as taken by the U.S. Navy. This is the first photo we have of the heat shield, and upon initial examination it doesn’t seem to have the char loss that Artemis I’s had.

USA und Iran: Wer gibt zuerst nach? Verhandlungen in Islamabad stocken Donald Trump kündigt Verhandlungen mit Iran in Islamabad an, doch diplomatische Bemühungen stocken nach Zwischenfall im Golf von Oman. Die Lage beeinflusst globale Rohstoffmärkte.

There is only one feasible conclusion to draw from the pool of incoherent, contradictory social media posts by Trump about the Iran War—and that is that Trump is desperate for a deal, while the Iranians could care less. Never has America been more humiliated. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/usa-...
