ALT Secretary Marco Rubio and Uzbekistan Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov smile at the camera against a background of American and Uzbekistan flags. They are both wearing suits and ties. They appear to be shaking hands while also holding up a folder. There is an arrangement of flowers on the table in front of them.
ALT The Moon, as seen by Artemis II astronauts just before they passed behind it. The edge of the visible surface of the Moon, or the limb, is visible. Just beyond that is Earth, lit like a crescent moon.

ALT Four small white sample cups on a tray, each holding a different portion of prepared food. The foods vary in color and texture, including a green‑flecked mixture, a golden paste, a white grain-like sample, and a chunkier mixture with darker pieces. The Artemis III crew tasted various food items on Monday, Aug. 10, 2026, at NASA’s Space Food Systems Laboratory, to determine what they’ll eat on their mission in low Earth orbit.
