Send astronauts to Mars and back to the moon. Pence did the heavy lifting in the speech, speaking about "strategic planning."
I wonder if they increased the budget for these ambitious plans. Commenter on CNN: "no bucks, no Buck Rogers."

This may shock the orange creature, but Obama already did the executive order thing with the moon. Maybe orange shit should make dead eyes pence in charge of curing cancer. Wait Obama did that too, only picked Biden.
Two shits has zero new ideas.

(9,287 posts)We give huge tax cuts to the rich and fuel our space craft to the stars on their elegant trickle down farts.
Outside of sarcasm, from what I remember about jfks space program, you need scientists and engineering and a budget. We got nada. Trump sounds like Hitler in the bunker screaming about secret weapons.
I love the no buck, no buck Rogers line- that is freakin awesome.

And he touches it anyway.
I wish somebody would have slapped his hand, would have lost their job but they would be in the history books as smarter than this idiot.

(70,516 posts).... off from Mars and fly to and land on the Moon after which we lift off from the Moon fly back to
earth and then re-enter the earth's atmosphere and then land the same spacecraft. Outside of not
having the engineering, technology, the spacecraft, or knowing if the cosmic rays will kill the astronauts
this should be an easy thing for NASA to do.
BTW the real problem with this stupid idea is that NASA will have to spend money and time on it
because Trump is the President.
BTW my SIL works at NASA too and W bush's trip to the moon and then on to Mars idea had to
be studied.
