Sure hope that's followed by, "Trump increases NASA's budget 10-fold"...otherwise it doesn't matter much.

Last proposed budget featured a 2% year-over-year decrease in NASA funding.

That's as I recall. We all know JFK also reduced the budget while asking for similar tasks...who needs funding when you have vigor?
Yes, and we saw what happened... they landed men on the moon once upon a time, and it has been how many years?That's as I recall. We all know JFK also reduced the budget while asking for similar tasks...who needs funding when you have vigor?

Why should the Govt only fund NASA and not SpaceX to do the same job of landing man on Moon or Mars? if the objective is to land Americans on another celestial object, with American technology launched from US soil, then the Govt should open up funding to all entities that can accomplish this - which is SpaceX and NASA.

Just saw this flash by on CNN...
Trump to sign directive ordering NASA to return to the Moon
Words are cheap, even in the best of times (and these are not). Given the steep devaluation of truth we've seen of late, you can hardly give them away now.
Please wake me when going to the Moon shows up on a budget that's passed.

Actually, NASA landed men on the moon six times in total: Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and Apollo 17.
It's been 45 years since the last manned moon mission.

Typical misdirection play by the Donald. The three woman from today's harassment press conference just brought out the Ralph Kramden in Trump. To the moon Alice, to the moon!

Didn't Trump appoint the Flat Earth Society as Director of NASA?

This is meaningless. Congress controls the purse strings of NASA. This is just posturing and he gets to sign something from his "Space Council." If anything, this will give the pork projects (SLS and Orion) more excuse to have more delays. They would "evaluate" what they need to do to better service this new directive.
It is remotely possible that SpaceX could get a little Federal money for BFR because of this. I wouldn't count on it though.

I wanted to give you five thumbs up for that one! You cracked me up!!!Has someone discovered coal on the Moon?
