and it puts artemis in people's minds.center of artemis is a giant what some might call white elephant of a rocket. it's now coming in at about $90 billion. i'm talking about the space launch system. and it's had a very long and slow and continually delayed effort to get into space. at this point, nasa is projecting a moon landing in 2027. but that's probably pretty optimistic. so this is a program that is looking like it is a ripe target for the doge world. geoff: well, it raises the question, what is elon musk's stance on artemis, especially since he has his own private spaceflight company, spacex? miles: he's not a big fan. but, interestingly, he does have a key part to play in artemis. his starship is -- would be modified and used to actually do the last bit and land on the lunar surface. but the space launch system itself, he's described as inefficient, a jobs program, not a results program. and he said he wants to go straight to mars,the moon is a distraction. so that lends itself to a lot of speculation right now th

i just always thought artemis. missions going to mars i did not think about it in terms of a campaign. so, from your perspective how is it viewed on the hill? is it the discrete bucket of activity? to this continuum like raising a toddler sometime in the future. when called a bunch of different things journey to mars during the obama era. but really, if you look at the roadmap of what needs to happen and how aree going to go about doing that, everything just said-even the moon to marshal program is not it administration or administrator, that was congress that and get a couple of years ago the authorization bill. so it's interesting to me, you go back 15 years are you a moon person or a mars person? i'll think anyone talks that way anymore. it's i want america to go and return to the moon first and stay in some manner. and then i want to be the first to go to mars. i don't think the hill on both sides of the out useon that as n inconsistent position. >> again your thought is the continuum of activity that builds up

. >> now, nasa is trying to build from the artemis mission to the moon to humans setting foot on mars. it will be an incredibly challenging mission filled with problems never encountered before, and a crew of astronauts daring enough to make the journey. to put it mildly, the journey would be unprecedented. we're talking about a journey that could take months just to get there. >> you're absolutely right. things are likely to break on a trip to and from mars. so you cannot take every single spare part with you. you're going to have to have some way of additive manufacturing, 3d printing. >> in addition to transportation, you need a habitat. we have not yet built a place for astronauts to live. for the 6 or 7 months it would take to get there and have really reliable life support, and to get to the land, you have to do what is the hardest entry, descent and landing in the solar system. mars has a very thin atmosphere and it makes it the worst. so you've got to use all the tricks in the book to get safely to the surface. >> and getting there is only half the battle. a round trip mission

successful landing of the commercial lunar, uh, project that nasa has underway as part of its big artemis program. uh, there was a complete failure, and then a partial failure by a company called intuitive uh, which is about to have another lander, uh, on its way down in just a matter of days. but this is all part of an effort to scout out, uh, landing sites and. potential, uh, habitation zones for astronauts to set up a base camp as part of this artemis moon campaign that nasa is engaged with. and it is dependent upon, uh, a government rocket called the space launch system. and a lot of commercial players like this company, firefly out of texas, which had a great success. >> yeah. okay. so i want to talk about kind of the micro and then the macro. so the micro being what is blue ghost's mission in the coming days? what is it going to do while it's there. >> uh, a couple of things. first of all, demonstrating that it could land. well, it's done that. check that box. it's already proven that it can use global positioning system. and the. similar, uh, satellite navigation systems based on e

commercial spacecraft to ever do so the mission is part of a nasa partnerships supporting nasa's artemisan effort to cut costs and return astronauts to the moon. the lander captured stunning footage on your screen of earth and the moon along its journey, including in these photos, that blue goes first image of the lunar surface. just incredible. well, still ahead, it was a night of sure bets prizes and sweeps. we have the highlights from the 97th academy awards. >> and some college basketball happening in the bay today who came out on top of the head of conference tournament play that and much more sports that and much more sports after the break. i'm not happy with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to bel

this mission goes off as planned and then they can continue to build on success as they head towards artemislanding. separately, there's another lunar mission underway right now. this is a robotic mission. it is called blue ghost. they landed successfully on the moon in the very early morning hours. it's about the size of a small car and what's good about this one is it didn't tip over. you may recall a year ago, another company had a robot land on the moon. it immediately tipped over and therefore didn't get a lot of good data. this one landed just fine. it will conduct experiments for two weeks, surveying the soil, the temperature underneath the soil. creating a database for nasa as eventually it plans to put humans on the moon again and it's trying to build a database of conditions on the moon so it has a really good understanding of what they will be doing and where they will be going with humans when they do in fact return to the moon. so a lot going on there in space and as it relates to the ture of manned and crewed missions to the moon. back to you. >> tom, thanks so much. >>> still

artemis is one of 10 iranian christians, including three children, who are detained in panama. these people sought safety and refuge in the united states. instead they were rounded up, flown thousands of miles away, imprisoned in detention camps and brutal conditions, and are afraid for their lives as they wait to be sent back to their home countries to face deadly consequences for their human right of religious freedom. what this country was founded on. the united states should never be responsible for sending people to face persecution, especially those who have risked everything to seek refuge right here. these actions not only violate our moral responsibilities and our shared humanity, but they are in direct conflict with the values upon which our nation was founded upon. i am the proud daughter of immigrants from iran. my parents came to the united states fleeing the brutal revolution that led to the current regime. this country welcomed them with open arms, allowed them to work hard and succeed, and in just one generation they've witnessed their daughter make history as t
