For the first time in more than half a century, America is sending astronauts beyond low Earth orbit — taking humans farther from Earth than ever before. Artemis II will send four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the Moon from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Along the way, they will test every critical system aboard the spacecraft, from navigation to life support, laying the groundwork for a return to the lunar surface and, ultimately, missions to Mars. But Artemis II is about more than a single mission. NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN PHOTOS OF NEIL ARMSTRONG'S NEAR-FATAL NASA MISSION SURFACE 60 YEARS LATER It is proof that the United States intends to lead in the next era of space exploration, not follow.

This week, the 1st Medical Brigade of the III Armored Corps at Fort Hood , Texas, held a training exercise called "Operation Silver Lightning."  The exercise, according to the 1st Medical Brigade, "is designed to simulate the challenges of providing advanced medical care in a contested, large-scale combat environment." Between March 23 and April 1, the 1st Medical Brigade employed the tactical arm of the Army Health System. Combat medics, optometrists, doctors, veterinarians, and other medical personnel simulated a mass casualty event in combat conditions in underground tunnels on the Fort Hood base.  This week, Fox News got an up-close look at how this training exercise was implemented.

The chair of the Hernando County, Florida , Democratic Party who was arrested for allegedly hitting a man in the head with a bullhorn during a "No Kings" protest, said that he did not act as an aggressor and did not escalate the confrontation. Brian Stewart, 63, was charged with simple battery, a misdemeanor in Florida, and booked into the Hernando County Sheriff's Detention Center after the incident in Spring Hill on Saturday. He was released later that day, records show. Stewart said he is "not a violent person" and that the man he was accused of hitting — a disabled veteran identified as Thomas Michta in police reports — was harassing others at the demonstration "in an attempt to elicit a reaction." "This was a peaceful event attended by many members of the community," Stewart told Fox News Digital.

Moving at speed from the Philippine Sea near China, the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA-7) is now on station for U.S. Central Command. Aboard are 2,200 Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. With them are aircraft designed to strike into Iran — or control coastal positions along the Strait of Hormuz. And get this: all of Tripoli’s aircraft are designed for vertical takeoffs from the flight deck. Yes, even the F-35B stealth fighters aboard can take off like helicopters. This tailored crisis response force will give President Donald Trump fresh options to wrap up Operation Epic Fury. "The Strait of Hormuz could be open tomorrow if Iran stops threatening global shipping," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said last week. The USS Tripoli is set to help.

A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration unlawfully terminated the legal status of thousands of migrants who had been allowed to temporarily live in the U.S. after using an app expanded by the Biden administration to schedule appointments with immigration officials. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston ordered the administration to reverse its move last year to revoke the legal status of migrants who used the CBP One app. The app was used under former President Joe Biden starting in 2023 to address the crisis at the border by allowing some migrants to make appointments to seek asylum, with many paroled into the country for up to two years, but President Donald Trump moved to shut down the app when he returned to the White House last year. Burroughs found that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security acted unlawfully in April of last year when it sent mass emails to many of the roughly 900,000 people who entered the country using the app, informing ...

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, a Republican, was hospitalized on Tuesday after undergoing a minor procedure to remove fluid that was pressing against her lung, according to her office. Ivey, 81, will be monitored at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery in the coming days out of an abundance of caution, a spokesperson for the governor said in a statement. The fluid was discovered on Tuesday when the governor went to her doctor because she was feeling discomfort in her left side and recently experienced some shortness of breath. "For the last three weeks, Governor Kay Ivey has experienced some discomfort in her left side," the statement said. "After monitoring the pain and recently feeling slightly short-of-breath, she made the decision to be seen again by her primary care physician earlier today."

You've heard of cooking steaks sous vide , but one beloved chef says a similar method works for eggs — and tried it herself. Ree Drummond, the Food Network host also known as the "Pioneer Woman," recently cooked an omelet in a plastic bag placed in simmering water. "I am really excited to try this," Drummond said in a YouTube video posted March 18. LEFTOVER HACKS EXPLODE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS AMERICANS FIGHT HIGH PRICES WITH SCRAP FOOD FEASTS The celebrity chef began by using a heat-safe plastic bag and preparing the ingredients. "The good news is I'm not making a huge commitment by just making one omelet in a bag," she said while chopping a tomato. "It's nice to experiment with things like this before you really go whole hog." After cracking the eggs into a bag, Drummond began to whisk them together with a fork. "I sure don't want to pierce a hole in the bag," she said in the video . "And then everything jus...
