Trump signs new space policy directive to send Americans to Moon, Mars
President Trump signed a new directive at the White House on Monday, aimed at furthering the administration's efforts in advancing space exploration for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
The order now directs the NASA Administrator to lead an innovative space exploration program to send American astronauts back to the Moon, and eventually Mars.
During Monday's order signing, Mr. Trump said the action will "refocus America's space program on human exploration and discovery."
"Imagine the possibility waiting in those big beautiful stars if we dare to dream big. That's what our country is doing again, we're dreaming big," the president said.
He added, "This is a giant step toward that inspiring future and toward reclaiming America's proud destiny in space and space has so much to do with so many other applications including a military application."

Re: America militarises the moon and Mars.
A sensible and discrete President who wanted to quietly include some military aspects with the space program would have simply left out the last sentence...

I wonder whether it is an accident that this was announced moments after some women went live on TV to accuse trump of sexual harassment.
