It feels appropriate that the best reporting from The Atlantic and The New York Times has been by seasoned war reporters who understand the stakes and, by extension, the need to protect sources or sensitive information.

I know shit is all insane and everything is on fire but if all things go well, four astronauts will go to the moon in a few weeks. This mission will include many firsts: the first non-American astronaut, the first female astronaut, and the first person of color to travel to the moon.
