floods. and the iaea says a team is traveling to ukraine s nuclear power plant amid a looming catastrophe. we ll bring you the latest on the attack with those fears. live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom, with rosemary church. good to have you with us. for nearly 50 years since apollo 17, nasa is taking its first steps to sending astronauts back to the moon. you are looking at live pictures of the launch pad at kennedy space center in florida, where the scheduled launch window for the artemis one window is a few hours away. the unmanned mission to the moon is the first of several in the years ahead. eventually the goal is to return astronauts to lunar surface for the first time since the final apollo mission in 1972. and ultimately, nasa hopes to some day land the first humans on mars. as of now, scientists are aiming for 2025 for that return to the moon surface. a mission which would include the first woman to make the voyage. cnn s rachel cain shows us, the capsule

But just failed miserably on a mass scale. can you go into that? i can. yeah, what has been surprising to me about this operation is i want to remind everyone this was a war of russia s choice. they ve had months, if not years, to prepare for this. they re making a set of critical assumptions proven to be faulty. i think they assumed the ukrainians would not resist them and that proved false. they are making mistakes that they are capable of doing elsewhere in syria. they are capable of having secure communications loops, operational commanders to command things. yet it s almost as if for this operation from the beginning they decided to unlearn a lot of those lessons or not able to scale up more advanced capabilities for a war of this size. for me the most surprising thing has been it took them six weeks to essentially realize that they couldn t run this war from moscow, they needed a local commander to essentially coordinate things.

Obviously conflict in this region, for eight years. yes. are you talking about completely repelling the russians from that area, would that be possible, what sort of support would ukraine need, what are you thinking? well, what it is, is, sort of get the russian army that is there and cause such attritional battle losses, that it becomes a combat ineffective force and that ultimately the war reaches negotiated settlement, or the russians have to make a very difficult choice about whether they want to build up a new army and continue for a long war, that is ultimately going to be russia s choice, what ukraine wants to do now, which is exactly what it did round kyiv, is to waste russian forces to such a degree they become difficult to maintain operations, and with the russian army at this size, that is a distinct possibility, if ukraine is given the kind of help it is asking for.
