Artemis II: Historic Nasa moon mission launches

The Globalist program covers a range of international news stories, starting with NASA's Artemis II mission to circumnavigate the moon, framed within the context of geopolitical competition between the U.S. and China for lunar resources like Helium-3. The program then shifts to the potential for nuclear proliferation in light of Donald Trump's foreign policy, with nations like South Korea possibly seeking nuclear deterrents due to perceived unreliability of the U.S. as a security partner. Other topics include changes to Portugal's nationality law, Angola's shift towards strategic influence in Africa, and Mozambique's surprising debt payoff. Finally, the show explores Japanese music and culture, including plans for a Sphere entertainment venue in Tokyo and the integration of music into Japanese baseball.
