CNN —NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to return astronauts to the moon this decade amid a renewed international push for lunar exploration, is facing more delays. The issue relates to how the Orion capsule reenters Earth’s atmosphere upon returning from deep space, said NASA deputy administrator Pam Melroy. Prior to Trump taking office, NASA had targeted 2028 for the first moon landing. But in 2019, then-Vice President Mike Pence made the stunning declaration that the administration would direct NASA to drastically accelerate that timeline, aiming to conduct a crewed moon landing by 2024. Pence in part announced the decision to try to accelerate a US moon landing as part of a space race against China.

NASA chief Bill Nelson announced on Thursday new delays in the U.S. space agency's Artemis program to return astronauts to the moon for the first time since 1972, pushing back the next two planned missions including the planned lunar landing. Nelson told a news conference that the next Artemis mission, sending astronauts around the moon and back, has slipped to April 2026, with the subsequent moon landing mission pushed to 2027. The Artemis program has made noteworthy progress but also has experienced various delays and rising costs. NASA is using SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other contractors in the Artemis program. Trump's first NASA chief, former U.S. congressman Jim Bridenstine, launched the Artemis program and persuaded Congress to increase the agency's budget to fund it.

Exposure to lead in gasoline during childhood resulted in many millions of excess cases of psychiatric disorders over the last 75 years, a new study estimates. According to the findings, the national population experienced an estimated 151 million excess mental health disorders attributable to exposure to lead from car exhaust during children’s early development. Lead-associated mental health and personality differences were most pronounced for people born between 1966 and 1986, according to the study. The groups born around 1940 and 2015 had the lowest lead exposure and lead-associated mental illness, the study reported. Blood lead levels have gone way down, but they could go down further,” he said.

☆ Michel Barnier, France’s prime minister, likely to be ousted in no-confidence vote, deepening country’s crisis
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-04 | by ( Lauren Kent | Hanna Ziady | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —French lawmakers will vote Wednesday on a no-confidence motion that is widely expected to oust the government of Prime Minister Michel Barnier, as the country grapples with a deepening political crisis and massive budget deficit. No government has been ousted in a no-confidence vote since 1962 and Barnier would become France’s shortest-serving prime minister in history. But it’s unclear how any future prime minister will find unified support in a divided political landscape and avoid being similarly toppled. This gridlock has made the government’s budget problems much harder to solve. The credit rating agency expects France’s budget deficit to reach 6.2% of GDP by the end of the year.

☆ Dark chocolate linked to lower risk of type 2 diabetes, study says

CNN —Eating at least five tiny servings of dark chocolate each week may lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 21%, according to a new observational study. The study found eating milk chocolate was linked to excessive weight gain over time, a key contributor to the development of type 2 diabetes. Researchers then looked at dark chocolate, milk chocolate and total chocolate consumption among over 111,000 chocolate aficionados. However, when the types of chocolate were factored in, the data showed no significant reduction in diabetes risk when consuming milk chocolate. “For anyone who loves chocolate,” Liu said, “this is a reminder that making small choices, like choosing dark chocolate over milk chocolate, can make a positive difference to their health.”
