- President Trump visited NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston on Friday to award Congressional Space Medals of Honor to the Artemis II mission astronauts.
- Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh spoke Friday morning at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium in Wyoming, with his remarks widely read as hinting at a potential interest rate hike to address above-target inflation.
Why it matters: Warsh's Jackson Hole signal that rate hikes may be on the table marks a possible hawkish turn from the Fed's recent pause posture, while Trump used the Artemis II medal ceremony to spotlight NASA's crewed lunar mission ahead of its planned flight.
