	Description:		NASA is to launch the Artemis II mission to the Moon, more than half a century after the last Apollo missions – we’ll hear from one of the four surviving astronauts who have set foot on the Moon. Also in the programme: US President Donald Trump attends a Supreme Court hearing about his attempt to end birthright citizenship by executive order; and how a hundred driverless taxis all suddenly stopped mid-journey in a city in China – so how robust is the tech?
