We are back with one of the most jam-packed news weeks of the year — and that’s saying something. We kick things off with one of the most incredible military stories in recent memory: the United States pulled off a daring rescue of two aviators whose F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran.

Then we pivot to the stars — literally. NASA’s Artemis II mission is carrying four astronauts toward the Moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972.

Back on Earth, Savannah Guthrie made her emotional return to the TODAY show this morning for the first time since January 30th, amid the ongoing search for her missing mother Nancy.

On the NBA front, the Memphis drama is fully cooked. A video of LeBron James and A viral compilation video then surfaced featuring Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards, Draymond Green, and others all piling on Memphis as a road destination. The whole league apparently has receipts. We get into it.

Then we go to Anaheim for what might be the single greatest defensive game in baseball history. Angels outfielder Jo Adell robbed not one, not two, but three home runs in a 1-0 win over the Mariners

Is Kanye back? Ye performed two sold-out comeback shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles — his first U.S. performances in 5 years. And why is Kylie Kelce complaining for no reason?

Plus — Dating Moments of the Day, your Questions of the Day (Can you be too hot? What’s a green flag that doesn’t get enough credit? What’s an underrated snack or meal?), and of course, the Nuclear Opinion of the Day. Don’t miss it.
