Arcadio Esquivel's cartoon splits the scene: on one side, a missile with an American flag streaks toward a planetary surface marked 'Iran,' flames trailing from its base against a blue sky. On the other, the Artemis II NASA capsule floats in space, nearing a gray lunar landscape labeled 'Moon' under a starry black backdrop. Tags including war, moon, exploration, Artemis II, NASA, Middle East, and Iran capture the visual pun.
