Artemis II astronauts arrive in Florida to prepare for launch to the moon

2026-03-27T17:26:00-0400 / CBS News

The Artemis II astronauts flew to the Kennedy Space Center Friday to prepare for the scheduled April 1 launch that will take them on a nearly 700,000-mile voyage around the moon and back, the first crew to leave Earth orbit since the final Apollo mission a half century ago.

Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen made the trip to Florida from the Johnson Space Center in Houston aboard sleek T-38 jets, setting down on the spaceport’s three-mile-long runway around 2:10 p.m. Eastern Time.

“Hey, let’s go to the moon!” exclaimed Wiseman, pumping his fists on the runway. “I think the nation and the world has been waiting a long time to do this again. And on behalf of myself, Victor, Christina, Jeremy, we are really pumped to go do this for this entire team.

“It has been a lot of work. It’s been a great journey. It’s great to be down here in the Florida. The vehicle looked amazing on the pad on the way in…It’s just been an awesome start to this journey here at Kennedy.”

Countdown clocks are expected to begin ticking at 4:44 p.m. EDT Monday, setting up a launch attempt at 6:24 p.m. Wednesday, the opening of a two-hour window.

The crew originally hoped to blast off in early February but the flight was delayed, first by hydrogen leaks detected during a fueling test, and then by problems pressurizing the rocket’s upper stage propulsion system.

That problem could not be fixed at the launch pad, forcing engineers to haul the 322-foot-tall SLS rocket back to NASA’s cavernous Vehicle Assembly Building. The issue was quickly traced to an out-of-place seal, and after recharging a variety of batteries in the rocket, the vehicle was hauled back out to the pad.

While tests and checkout indicated the rocket and Orion crew ship are ready to go, Wiseman said the crew was prepared for another delay if necessary.

A larger-than-usual crowd of reporters and photographers greeted the Artemis II crew on the Kennedy Space Center runway, indicating broad interest in NASA’s first moonshot in more than 50 years. NASA

“We are ready to launch,” he told CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann. “But we’re also humans, trying to load millions of pounds of propellant onto a giant machine and send it to the moon. So it could very well be that we get to April 1st and we’re behind (the) timeline and we’re just not ready to launch…We are ready for that.”

Because of the constantly changing positions of Earth and moon, along with lunar lighting and solar power requirements, the crew has until April 6 to get off the ground, or the flight will be delayed another four weeks or so when conditions will again be favorable.

It will be only the second flight of an SLS rocket, the most powerful operational launcher in the world, and the first with a crew on board. The same applies to the Orion crew ship at the top of the rocket.

Before the astronauts head for the moon, they will spend a full day in Earth orbit putting the Orion capsule through its paces, making sure its life support systems and other critical components are working properly.

“That one 24-hour orbit gives us time to check out all of (Orion’s) environmental control, life support systems,” Wiseman said in an earlier interview. “Can it scrub our carbon dioxide? Can it keep us alive? Can we drink water? Can we go to the bathroom? All those basic human functions that we did not test on Artemis I. We’ve got to go get those things tested before we press out to the moon.”

Coming along for the ride: a small plush toy named “Rise” that will serve as the crew’s informal zero gravity indicator, a contest-winning design submitted by a California second grader.

“The crew personally participated in selecting our buddy, our stowaway, to fly with us,” Koch said. “And this little guy, Rise, really resonated with us because the theme is actually the Earthrise photo taken on Apollo 8, which is inspirational to all of us.”

Astronaut Christina Koch discusses the crew’s informal “zero gravity indicator,” a plush toy named “Rise,” that was designed by a California second-grader. Such toys are traditionally used to indicate when a crew becomes weightlessness on reaching orbit. NASA

A small zippered pocket in the toy will carry a computer card with the names of nearly six million people around the world who responded to the agency’s “send your name around the moon” campaign.

If all goes well, the Orion capsule will pass within about 4,100 miles of the moon on April 6, giving the astronauts an unprecedented view of the lunar far side as the moon’s gravity bends the spacecraft’s trajectory back toward Earth. Re-entry and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego is targeted for April 10.

Artemis II will set the stage for a follow-on flight in Earth orbit next year when another crew will test rendezvous and docking procedures with commercial moon landers being built by SpaceX and Blue Origin.

If those flights go well, NASA hopes to launch one, and possibly two, lunar landing missions in 2028 before beginning work to build a moon base near the lunar south pole for long-duration stays on the surface.

“We have talked a lot about the exciting changes that have been announced and how we’re approaching fulfilling our destiny in space and our journey to the moon and on to Mars,” Koch said. “And the one thing the crew all agrees on is that it has been motivating. It has been inspiring, and it has fired us up.”

Tiger Woods charged with DUI after rollover crash in Florida, authorities say

Updated on: March 27, 2026 / 7:51 PM EDT / CBS News

Golf legend Tiger Woods was charged with DUI after a vehicle crash in Jupiter, Florida, on Friday afternoon, the local sheriff said.

The incident happened when a pickup truck towing a small trailer was pulling into a driveway and saw a Land Rover overtaking him at “high speeds,” Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek told reporters during a news conference. While they didn’t know the speed of the vehicle, Budensiek said the area has a 30 mph speed limit.

The Land Rover, driven by Woods, swerved at the last minute to avoid a collision but ended up clipping the back end of the trailer, flipping onto the driver’s side of the vehicle and sliding, Budensiek said, adding that the vehicle didn’t roll completely over but slid up the road for a “decent space” before it came to a stop.

Woods, 50, was able to crawl out of the vehicle on the passenger side, and neither driver suffered injuries, the sheriff said. There were no passengers in the Land Rover.

Woods showed signs of impairment, Budensiek said, and did several roadside tests. Woods took a Breathalyzer test and “blew triple zeroes” but refused a urine test, the sheriff said.

Experts who evaluated Woods after the crash “believe from on scene that he was not impaired on alcohol. They believe it was some type of medication or drug,” Budensiek said. No drugs or medication were found in the vehicle, he said.

Woods was arrested and charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, Budensiek said.

He will be jailed for eight hours, per a Florida statute that requires it following a DUI arrest, starting at 3 p.m., before he can be released on bond, according to the sheriff. Woods was being held at Martin County Jail, though not with the general population.

Jupiter Island police had initially responded to the scene before calling the sheriff’s office for assistance, Budensiek said, noting that the police are “fully capable” but that the sheriff’s office “has more repetitions.”

The Martin County Fire Rescue Department told CBS News it responded to a motor vehicle accident in the Jupiter Island area around 1:30 p.m. The department could not share details on patient information due to privacy laws, a spokesperson said.

Woods recently participated in a match at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on Tuesday.

Woods, who has won 15 majors throughout his golf career, has been weighing whether or not he could play the Masters in April, according to The Associated Press. Woods had his seventh back surgery in September 2025, and had ruptured his Achilles tendon in March of that year.

In 2021, Woods was seriously injured in a rollover crash in Los Angeles. Authorities said at the time that the SUV he was driving careened downhill, traveling several hundred feet and flipping multiple times before landing on a hillside in Rolling Hills Estates, a Los Angeles suburb. Woods was trapped inside the SUV, forcing first responders to use tools to pry open the windshield to pull him out.

Woods’ vehicle had been traveling between 84 and 87 mph in an area with a 45 mph speed limit, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said at the time. The primary cause of that crash in 2021 “was driving at a speed unsafe for the road conditions and the inability to negotiate the curve of the roadway,” the sheriff said.

Woods was also arrested on a DUI charge in 2017 when Florida police found him asleep behind the wheel of his car. Woods said later he had taken a bad mix of painkillers.

Grapevine, Texas—

The Conservative Political Action Conference’s annual gathering in Texas — like most of its meetings over the last decade — was largely a pro-President [Donald Trump] pep rally.

But several moments over CPAC’s [first two days] made clear that there are also rifts on the right that couldn’t be smoothed over among the activists gathered just outside Dallas. And with Trump skipping this year, and term-limited out of office in 2028, conservatives are beginning to grapple with those divides, and with broader questions about where the movement the president built will go once Trump himself departs.

On stage and in the crowd, the Texas Senate primary runoff between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton was a hot topic. But the possibility that Trump will weigh in with a race-altering endorsement ahead of the May 26 runoff loomed over the proceedings.

Ad Feedback

Several moments laid bare the right’s rift over Trump’s decision to wage war on Iran, with speakers warning attendees that the president’s actions might draw many more American troops into a drawn-out conflict in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, divisions among several of the most prominent media figures aligned with the “Make America Great Again” movement — over the United States’ relationship with Israel, the killing of Charlie Kirk, his legacy and more — couldn’t be ignored.

“What’s important is not Candace and Tucker and Megyn Kelly, or Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro,” said Steve Bannon, the former Trump strategist-turned-podcast host who was nodding at the sharp barbs those commentators have fired at each other in recent weeks.

“What’s important is you,” he said. “You need to come to your own conclusion, to weigh and measure the evidence, to think about the direction of this republic, to think about what America first actually stands for, to think about who are real allies and who are out for themselves.”

Here are other key takeaways from CPAC’s second day:

Cornyn-Paxton race takes center stage

On Friday afternoon, CPAC senior fellow Mercedes Schlapp asked the crowd gathered in Texas who they intended to vote for [in the May 26 Republican primary runoff] between Cornyn and Paxton.

Paxton’s name was met with a loud cheer.

Then Cornyn got muted boos.

“That explains why he’s not coming,” Schlapp quipped about the four-term senator.

Paxton was set to be the featured speaker at a CPAC dinner Friday night. However, the Texas attorney general hardly needed to make the case for himself after several speakers did so on stage throughout the day.

Bannon, the Trump 2016 campaign veteran and former White House chief strategist who now hosts a podcast, said Paxton is “emblematic of the grassroots of the MAGA movement across the nation.”

Trump [has not yet endorsed a candidate] ahead of the runoff, despite urging from many Republicans in Washington to back Cornyn to head off an expensive clash and better position the party to defeat Democratic nominee James Talarico in November.

Paxton has been working to keep Trump from endorsing Cornyn. He traveled to Florida last week to attend a Palm Beach County GOP gala held at Mar-a-Lago. He was seen mingling with guests, including speaking briefly with Trump, a source familiar with the exchange told CNN, as the president’s decision about getting involved in the race remains up in the air.

Bannon, like Schlapp, jabbed at Cornyn’s absence in North Texas.

“Cornyn’s not coming. You know why? He didn’t think you were important enough to talk to,” Bannon said.

On stage with Schlapp, reality television star Todd Chrisley told the crowd he plans to vote for Paxton in the runoff, despite the attorney general’s history of corruption allegations and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, [filing for divorce last year] and alleging infidelity.

“I don’t care who Ken sleeps with. I like who he is,” Chrisley said.

Attendees waiting on Trump in Senate race

Still, at least some attendees at CPAC who live in Texas said they were waiting to see if Trump would weigh in on the Cornyn-Paxton primary battle.

Jacenta Sims of McKinney told CNN that Paxton was “no choir boy” but said he has “100% stood by Trump” and she anticipated that matters most to many Texas Republican voters.

Xavier Heim and Molly Sawyer, engaged 39-year-olds who live in Grapevine, said they voted for Paxton in the March primary but are undecided on who to support in the runoff.

Heim, an airline pilot, said he wasn’t sure if a Trump endorsement would affect their votes. But Sawyer, a flight attendant, said she would watch to see who law enforcement, veterans’ groups and faith-based organizations supported.

“I’m not going choose the same candidate just because I voted from the first time. I want to do my research and make sure that I vote for the best possible candidate for Texas,” Sawyer said.

Heim said he would’ve liked to hear from Cornyn at CPAC as well.

“I always love to hear from both candidates, if possible, but … the information’s out there, the track record’s out there,” he said. “Find the lesser of two evils.”

Sawyer said a top priority was a candidate who could win in November.

“Somebody who seems like the most viable to beat Talarico,” she said.

A split over Iran

If Thursday’s calls for unity at CPAC masked some of the internal tension over Trump’s war with Iran, Friday’s program exposed a divide that could splinter the GOP ahead of the November midterm elections.

Erik Prince, the founder of the private military company formerly known as Blackwater, expressed his deep reservations about the war and issued a stunning warning to the CPAC crowd.

“You will see imagery of burning American warships in the next couple of weeks,” he said.

Prince, a controversial figure for Blackwater’s work during past Middle East wars, warned that few militaries in history have had success conquering Iran, saying: “I don’t share the optimism of the administration that there’s going to be a peaceful stop to this.”

His pessimism was quickly rebutted on stage by Ric Grenell, the Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions of the United States. Grenell countered Prince by predicting the threat of Iran will be eliminated and gas prices would soon fall.

“Is it messy in the short term? Of course,” Grenell said. “I think we’re going to look back in a couple of months and say, ‘Thank God that we fixed this problem. The Iranian regime is not a threat any longer.’”

The debate has been much discussed among attendees in Grapevine, with age becoming a defining determinator of which side people tend to fall on. Younger conservatives at CPAC resoundingly oppose military intervention, while older Republicans are more reflexively supportive.

Michael Reaud of Beaumont, who started the Trump Tribe of Texas and wore a glittery “T” on his chest, told CNN he trusts Trump “wholeheartedly” and would back him through the miltiary operation.

“Iran needs to be held accountable,” Reaud said, “and after that he’s going to put us Americans first again.”

Bannon brought his skepticism of the war to CPAC, too, where he is broadcasting his influential War Room show.

Speaking to the crowd in a speech cheekily labeled “Peace Room,” Bannon said it was important for conservatives to talk about this because their sons, daughters and grandchildren could soon be sent to the frontlines.

“It’s a debate that has to happen,” Bannon said.

Speakers target transgender people, Muslims, Democrats

The culture wars ran hot over CPAC’s first two days, with a long line of speakers wading into divisive debates and the audience’s cheers making clear that those battles continue to animate Trump’s base.

Their prominence was clear from the opening address, when Rev. Franklin Graham — son of the legendary evangelist Billy Graham — told attendees: “You’re on a mission to fight against the woke culture, critical race theory, transgender ideology, everything else that threatens to infect our families and churches and workplaces and schools with godless anti-American agenda.”

The two most frequent targets were transgender people and Muslims.

On Friday, during a panel dubbed “Don’t Sharia My Texas,” a group of panelists decried the state’s growing Muslim community.

Bo French, a candidate for Texas railroad commissioner, said that as opposed to extremism, “the problem is actually Islam.”

CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp and conservative commentator Michael Knowles cast the upcoming midterm elections and the 2028 presidential race in stark terms during their own discussion.

“They decided they’ve embraced Marxism, totalitarianism, woke-ism, secularism,” Schlapp said of Democrats.

伊朗两座核设施3月27日遭空袭，伊朗向以色列进行反击，图为一枚伊朗导弹划过约旦河西岸城市拉马拉上空。 （路透社）

伊朗方面消息，美国和以色列星期五（3月27日）对伊朗洪达卜核设施发动了两轮空袭，目前暂无人员伤亡报告。这座核设施内有一座重水反应堆。

伊朗法尔斯通讯社报道，洪达卜（Khondab）核设施提前采取安全措施，此次袭击后果不会对当地居民造成危险。

洪达卜核设施位于伊朗中央省首府阿拉克市（Arak）附近。去年6月以色列和伊朗的“12日战争”期间，洪达卜核设施也遭到以军空袭。

伊朗国家媒体报道，位于伊朗亚兹德省（Yazd）阿尔达坎市的一座“黄饼”（yellow cake）生产厂和伊朗两家最大的钢铁设施也遭袭击。伊朗随即向波斯湾对岸展开报复。

“黄饼”是铀的氧化物，通常从粉碎后的天然铀矿石提取而来。它是核燃料生产过程中必需的一种中间产品，但并不能直接用于核反应堆，而一般用于提炼浓缩铀。

根据伊朗原子能组织初步调查，此次袭击没有造成放射性物质泄漏至厂区外。

以色列国防军27日晚证实，以军当天空袭伊朗洪达卜重水反应堆和位于亚兹德省的铀提炼工厂，称将继续削弱伊朗“核武器计划”。

彭博社报道，伊朗向波斯湾邻国发射了大量无人机和导弹，破坏了科威特的两个港口，并引发了多哈的导弹警报。德黑兰警告将对波斯湾地区的钢铁厂和以色列进行报复。

Idaho passes legislation criminalizing transgender use of public bathrooms | Reuters

March 27 (Reuters) – Idaho’s Republican-controlled legislature passed a bill on Friday to ban people in the state from using bathrooms or changing rooms that ​do not match the gender they were assigned at birth, in the ‌latest restriction targeting transgender people in the United States.

The bill, expected to be signed into law by Republican Governor Brad Little, passed the state Senate 28-7 on Friday. It passed the Idaho ​House of Representatives last week.

Once law, it would make it a crime to ​enter a restroom or changing room designated for the opposite biological ⁠sex in government buildings and at restaurants, stores and other private businesses that have ​a public bathroom.

The first offense under the new rules, set to take effect in ​July, would be a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail, while a second offense within five years would be a felony, carrying up to a five-year prison sentence, according to ​the text of the bill.

Transgender people in the country have faced increasing limitations at ​the state and national levels, and those efforts have been bolstered since President Donald Trump returned ‌to ⁠office last year. Trump has issued a series of executive actions targeting transgender rights and stated in a directive that the U.S. government will recognize only two sexes: male and female.

The American Civil Liberties Union condemned the passage of Idaho’s bill and called ​on the governor to ​veto it.

“This bill’s ⁠proposed punishments for using public facilities are extreme and unnecessary … This is an unacceptable and discriminatory misuse of our criminal legal ​system,” the ACLU said in a statement.

The governor’s office did not ​immediately respond ⁠to a request for comment.

Idaho is in a group of some 20 U.S. states with some form of bathroom access restrictions for transgender people, according to a tally by ⁠the Movement ​Advancement Project, a think tank that advocates for ​transgender rights.

Idaho earlier passed a law allowing students to sue schools for $5,000 if they encounter a transgender student ​in a bathroom in violation of the law.

House Republicans’ gambit to end the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown survived a critical hurdle on Friday evening, teeing up a chamber-wide vote that will put the chamber on a collision course with the Senate.

The House Rules Committee advanced a two-month DHS stopgap measure after House GOP leadership vigorously rejected a Senate-passed deal earlier on Friday with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., dubbing the funding bill a “joke.” President Donald Trump also criticized the Senate bill in an interview with Fox News.

The Senate deal provided full-year appropriations for DHS minus funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), halting roughly $5.5 billion for the agency. It also largely nixed funds for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), save for just over $11 billion for operations and support.

“The Senate’s proposal is nothing more than unconditional surrender masquerading as a solution, and the House will not bend itself into submission by acquiescing,” House Rules Committee Chairwoman Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said Friday.

House Republicans are expected to have the votes to pass the 60-day CR in a chamber-wide vote, though Johnson will be able to spare just one GOP defection in a party-line scenario. A vote on final passage could occur as early as Friday evening.

House Democrats are expected to line up against the short-term funding patch, citing their opposition to funding Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts absent myriad reforms. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is also pinning the blame on House Republicans for prolonging the 42-day government shutdown.

“This could end and should end today,” Jeffries said Friday. “There is a bipartisan bill that has been sent over from the Senate that would reopen the non-controversial parts of the Department of Homeland Security, make sure TSA agents are paid and end the chaos at airports throughout the nation.”

Any CR from the House stands no chance of surviving in the Senate, given that Senate Democrats blocked numerous attempts by Republicans throughout the shutdown to pass short-term, two-week extensions.

Lawmakers in the upper chamber have also left Washington, D.C., with some going abroad on congressional delegations.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., immediately came out against Johnson’s plan and said that Democrats and Republicans reached unanimous agreement to advance the DHS funding bill while carving out immigration enforcement funding.

“A 60-day CR that locks in the status-quo is dead on arrival in the Senate, and Republicans know it,” Schumer said.

And a GOP aide told Fox News Digital that “the easiest way to end this shutdown is for the House to pass the Senate-passed bill.”

“We know the Democrats are not going to support a CR, in fact the Senate tried to pass CRs for the last 40 days and Dems have blocked Every. Single. One,” they said.

When asked about its uncertain prospects in the Senate, House GOP leadership Conference Chair Lisa McClain, R-Mich., told Fox News Digital that she hoped the upper chamber returned to Washington next week.

“I will tell you what can’t pass is what is what the Senate sent us at three in the morning,” McClain said. “We will not go back to the Biden administration, where we had wide open borders.”

Senate Republicans are already determined to front-load funding for ICE and CBP for the next several years in a new budget reconciliation bill, just as they did last year when Congress passed President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

However, McClain insisted Friday that funding for ICE and Border Patrol must be handled through the appropriations process, rather than receiving additional money through another party-line megabill.

“Border deserves a guarantee. I’m not willing to roll the dice on ‘Oh, let’s try and do it in reconciliation.’ No. Let’s do what the American people sent us here in the ‘24 election to do, and that’s make sure our people are safe and our borders remain closed.”

鲁比奥：美国无须派地面部队也能实现伊朗行动目标

美国国务卿鲁比奥称，美国能在不派遣地面部队的情况下实现伊朗军事行动目标，包括摧毁伊朗导弹和无人机能力等。他也说，美国和以色列对伊朗的军事行动还将持续几周。

《纽约时报》报道，鲁比奥星期五（3月27日）到巴黎出席七国集团（G7）外长会议后，在返回美国前向记者发表讲话。

他说，美国不需要出动地面部队就能在伊朗战争中取得成功，他认为这场战争将在数周内结束而不是几个月，尽管伊朗正试图控制对全球至关重要的霍尔木兹海峡。美国新闻网站Axios记者在社交媒体发布消息称，鲁比奥告诉G7同僚，伊朗战事还将持续“两到四周”。

鲁比奥说，美国近日向中东地区追加部署数以千计兵力，旨在为美国总统特朗普应对突发情况提供选项。他没有就此细说。

另外，鲁比奥透露美国尚未收到伊朗对特朗普总统的结束战争15点计划的正式回应。特朗普称与伊朗的谈判正在进行且进展顺利，但伊朗官员说，双方的接触非常有限，而且大多是间接的，尚未达到真正的谈判程度。

谈到俄乌战争，鲁比奥说，美国提供给乌克兰的武器目前没有调往中东地区，但美国对此持开放态度。他也说，美方目前没有安排关于俄乌冲突的会议。

乌克兰总统泽连斯基日前说，美国提出乌克兰须让出顿巴斯地区以换取美方安全保障。鲁比奥指泽连斯基“撒谎”。他说，美方告知泽连斯基的是，只有在战争结束后才有安全保障。

G7外长会26日至27日在法国举行，会议讨论了伊朗局势、俄乌冲突等问题。

Ten U.S. service members were injured in an attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, according to multiple U.S. officials.

The attack consisted of Iranian missiles and drones, sources told CBS News.

Two of the Americans were very seriously injured, sources said. Eight were seriously injured, which is a different category of injury under the military’s classification system.

More than 300 American service members have been wounded in action as part of the U.S.’s war with Iran, most of whom have returned to duty, a U.S. Central Command spokesperson said Friday. Some 13 service members have been killed.
