President Donald Trump interrupted his own scrambled attempt to elucidate his affordability pitch to talk about his favorite sandwich. "I like the fish," said a hoarser-than-usual Trump while speaking at the McDonald's National Impact Summit in Washington Monday night. He waved his hand and released a throaty hiss, ostensibly to mime the fish he liked. "I like it. You could do a little bit more tartar sauce though, please. Seriously. I hate when I say, Do you have any tartar sauce? Do you understand that? Yes, he understands that.'"

NASA may have no choice but to postpone the launch of its next mission to land astronauts on the moon by more than a year. Growing pains for SpaceX's massive Starship rocket over the past year have stunted the timeline for the still-developing launch vehicle and spacecraft, which is contracted to land astronauts on the lunar surface as a part of NASA's Artemis 3 mission.
