Trump hails Space Force in State of the Union as Artemis 2 sits out spotlight
TL;DR
In his State of the Union address, Trump praised Space Force, calling it “my baby,” while Artemis 2 astronauts attended the event but were not named; NASA’s Artemis program has faced delays, with Artemis 2’s launch rolled back due to a rocket glitch and now targeting early April at the soonest, and the speech offered little emphasis on Artemis 2 beyond the attendees.
