Gulf states continued to absorb drone and missile attacks last night.
Kuwait reported an attack on one of its oil tankers at a port in Dubai.
Meanwhile, Israel said it destroyed more than 100 high-rise buildings in Lebanon's capital, Beirut, claiming they were being used by Iran-backed Hezbollah.
NASA astronauts are getting ready for their first moon mission in over 50 years.
The last time NASA went to the moon was the Apollo 17 mission, which landed on its surface back in 1972.
But tomorrow, if all goes according to plan, a group of four astronauts will leave on a 10-day lunar flyby mission.
They'll go around the moon, this time without landing, and splash back into the Pacific Ocean.
One of the crew members, Reid Wiseman, hyped up a crowd at a press conference last week.
To get a better sense of the why and why now of the mission, we spoke to Lauren Grush, a space reporter with Bloomberg.
During a part of the mission, they're going to swing behind the moon where they'll briefly lose contact with mission controllers.
The closest they'll actually get to the lunar surface is about 4,000 to 6,000 miles.
The mission is just one part of NASA's ambitious and expensive plan to build out a moon base and launch multiple landing missions each year.
Ultimately, NASA hopes it can explore the potential presence of water on the moon, develop technology for more ambitious space travel, and simply develop a greater understanding about the Earth's history.
In the past, the U.S.
was in competition with the Soviet Union for space dominance.
Now the race seems to be with China, which has its own plans to get its astronauts to the moon before the end of the decade.
Trump kicked off the Artemis program in his first term, and later it was endorsed by the Biden administration.
Last week, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman talked about the program's trajectory.
The moon base will cost an estimated $20 billion over the next seven years, and the Artemis program overall has already cost nearly $100 billion.
Gresh said that there are still some questions about why Congress is willing to spend $20 billion and implement moon landers that are built by the private companies SpaceX and Blue Origin.
