Astronauts return from a record-breaking space mission as the world negotiates a precarious ceasefire in the Middle East.

The episode begins by highlighting the imminent return of the Artemis II astronauts, who have set a record for distance traveled from Earth. It immediately contrasts this with global peace efforts, noting negotiations involving U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding a ceasefire in the Middle East, with Hezbollah attacks in Lebanon cited as a major obstacle. The focus then turns to Spain-Israel relations, which are described as at their worst since 1985. Israel accuses Spain of a diplomatic war, threatening to expel Spanish representatives from a coordination center in Gaza, while Spain complains about the detention of a Spanish peacekeeper in Lebanon. Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares announces the reopening of Spain's embassy in Tehran, and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez calls for the EU to break its association agreement with Israel. Sánchez also proposes a common European army, but the episode critiques Spain's refusal to increase military spending despite NATO commitments. Domestically, the episode covers the ongoing trial related to mask procurement during the pandemic, revealing allegations of illegal party financing involving cash deliveries to the PSOE headquarters. A key witness, Claudio Rivas, is mentioned in connection with a separate fraud case. The episode returns to the Artemis mission, detailing the critical re-entry phase where the capsule becomes a ball of fire reaching over 2,700 degrees Celsius, emphasizing the physical risks faced by the astronauts. Throughout, the episode weaves together themes of space exploration, international conflict, diplomatic tensions, and political scandal, presented in a news analysis format by host Rafa La Torre.
