While Elon Musk is threatening to move humanity to Mars, and Russia worries about the alien resources, the 45th President of the United States Donald trump signed a new Directive, claiming a space program for sending American astronauts to the moon. We remind you that the last of the six landings on the lunar surface took place in the distant 1972. Since then, the moon had not gone before. This is what Donald trump and wants to fix what he stated openly during a speech before the press.
The signing of the Directive on space policy number 1 was held at the White house on Monday, December 11. The document authorizes the U.S. space Agency NASA to focus all its efforts on to make another delivery of astronauts to the moon. In October, the Directive was formed by members of the National Council on space, headed by Vice-President Mike Pence, and transmitted to the President of the United States.
“Directive, which I sign today, periodentium the U.S. space program to further study human natural satellite of the Earth. This is the first step for the return of American astronauts to the moon, launched in 1972. And this time, the project aims at long-term study. We don’t just put the moon in our flag and leave their traces there. We will create important groundwork for future Mars missions and perhaps even missions to study worlds far beyond Mars,” said Donald trump.
Vice-President Mike Pence added that America in the near future will again become a leader in the space race on all fronts. According to him, space is the next major goal for the United States, and to achieve it will help a huge experience in this field, academic achievement, and the infinite courage of the American people. Despite the loud pretentious statement, experts still do not quite understand how NASA will implement this large-scale project.
The financing of the space Agency repeatedly cut in recent years, and where to get huge money to implement plans for sending humans to the moon – is not entirely clear. Maybe this will help NASA Elon Musk with his rockets and space ships. In the signed document does not even approximate information on the timing of the implementation of the project, making it a more nebulous and vague. We remind you that your plans about sending humans to the moon not long ago announced China and Japan.
