The Orion capsule just completed a 695,000-mile journey, ending a half-century wait for humans to return near the Moon.
The episode begins by detailing the Artemis II mission's conclusion, with the Orion capsule landing safely after traveling 695,000 miles and breaking the distance record from Earth. NASA's CEO Jared Suckman announces preparations for Artemis 3, which will land the first woman and person of color on the Moon by 2027, noting Italy's role in building a lunar base module. The host then transitions to Italian current affairs, starting with a political analysis segment. This covers the heated exchange on 'Porta a Porta' between host Bruno Vespa and PD foreign affairs head Peppe Provenzano, where Provenzano accused Vespa of bias. Next, it reports on Genoa Mayor Silvia Salis, who in a Bloomberg interview did not rule out a national candidacy against Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, though she later reaffirmed her commitment to Genoa. The episode explores the left's search for a leader ahead of the 2027 elections, mentioning other potential candidates like Naples Mayor Gaetano Manfredi and internal party dynamics. A culture segment follows, focusing on archaeologist Barbara David's 25-year UNESCO-backed project to restore submerged Roman sites, including villas in Baia and shipwrecks across the Mediterranean. Another culture piece highlights the National Academy of Sartori in Rome, founded in 1575, which is hosting the Golden Manikin Award with a record 102 young tailoring candidates. The sports section analyzes Serie A, discussing Inter's match, financial issues at clubs, and the upcoming Italian Football Federation election, with candidates like Giovanni Maragò and former players Demetrio Albertini and Damiano Tommasi. The episode closes with horoscope readings and a farewell from the host.
