Trumps plans for the moon and then MarsPresident Trump held an inquiry and answer session today during the ceremony to relate with the Apollo 17 landing anniversary before checking Space Policy Directive 1. Another space inspiration focused on human spaceflight and returning to the moon.
In support with the president for the ceremony were Vice President Mike Pence, who has been starting the association’s new space policy, NASA acting administrator Robert Lightfoot and space explorers Christina Koch and Peggy Whitson. Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 17, who transformed into the twelfth and second-youngest individual to walk around the moon, was also at the ceremony.
“Unequivocally 45 years ago, for all intents and purposes to the occasion, Jack twisted up doubtlessly one of the continue-going Americans to touch base on the moon,” said Trump. “Today, we guarantee that he won’t be the last, and I estimate that we will find other places to land in addition to the moon.”
Trump continued by saying the new request for NASA would focus on working up a permanent outpost on the moon as a wandering stone to Mars, and possibly to better places too. The president also determined the essentialness of military applications in space.
“The request I’m checking today will refocus America’s space program on human exploration and revelation,” said Trump. “It means a key progress for returning American space pioneers to the moon out of nowhere since 1972, for long-term exploration and use this time. … We will develop a foundation for a conceivable mission to Mars.”
Mike Pence then discussed American leadership in space, and Trump denoted the command.
