It's a feat Russia actually did pull off, though.

A couple years ago, they sent an actress and a director up there to shoot a feature film.

That's it for the news quiz.

Before we go, here's the answer to our bonus question from last week.

The very specific color of NASA spacesuits is international orange.

A lot of you wrote in to guess Tang orange, which was a solid guess since the orange powdered drink has been an in-flight refreshment for astronauts.

Today's Wednesday, April 8th.

Here's what we're covering.

At 8.06 a.m.

yesterday morning, President Trump issued an apocalyptic threat to Iran, saying he was prepared to order widespread attacks against civilian infrastructure and that a whole civilization will die.

Just over 10 hours later, he backed down from that threat, announcing on social media that the U.S.

and Iran have reached a two-week ceasefire deal.

The idea is that negotiators will spend that time trying to finalize a permanent peace agreement.

The breakthrough came after a frantic diplomatic effort by Pakistan, which had been urging Trump not to carry out the devastating attacks, and pushing Iran to accept the proposal, which Pakistan had drafted.

Under the terms of the deal, Iran will let ships carrying oil, gas, and other goods through the Strait of Hormuz.

During those two weeks, all fighting is supposed to stop.
