Trump Hosts Artemis II Crew at the White House as Space Triumphs Clash With Budget and Voting Rights News

TL;DR Summary
Trump hosted Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman and the crew at the White House to celebrate their record-setting, 10-day lunar flyby and 252,756-mile distance, with the Orion capsule splashdown off San Diego. He used the moment to tout NASA budget cuts and criticized funding levels, then pivoted to a Supreme Court ruling gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, discussed Iran/Ukraine war questions, and teased forthcoming UFO disclosures.
