Senator Ted Cruz hails the Artemis two mission as a space race with China, aiming to land astronauts on the moon by 2030. He predicts America will beat China to prime spots at the lunar south pole for water and solar power. The mission, using the new Space Launch System rocket and Orion craft, is a significant step towards establishing a lunar base. Cruz, chairing the Senate Commerce Committee, has secured Houstons Johnson Space Center as command. He supports commercial space, which has created 50,000 high-paying jobs in Texas, with SpaceX leading the way. No budget cuts are planned for NASA, ensuring these missions proceed. Cruz also discusses the Iran conflict, emphasizing the U.S. has weakened Irans military and leadership, and is focused on preventing nuclear threats without engaging in endless war or nation-building.
