White House: Trump to start process of sending Americans back to moon
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Monday will sign a directive aimed at sending Americans back to the moon and eventually to Mars, the White House said. Spokesman Hogan Gidley said Trump will sign "Space Policy Directive 1" that orders NASA "to lead an innovative space exploration program to send American astronauts back to the Moon, and eventually Mars."
Is this the coming NASA announcement do you think?

No, it is about an exoplanet.
There are supposed to be several astrobiologists scheduled to be there.

It's not nostalgic at all. It might prove to be necessary to get further away. And kind of cool too. How long will this take?

Yeah.
We need to set up a base on the Moon. From there, we could more easily launch manned trips to Mars.
From Mars, we could take trips further out, maybe some of the moons of Jupiter or Saturn.
If we hadn't stopped in the 1970's.... we could already have people on Mars.

I just think it’s a cool idea, probably a better was to spend money than building his wall or massive military expansion.

That was all a ruse. They needed a shuttle to build a space station to better spy on the world and capture and bring back 'enemy' satellite tech.
What you think the cargo bays are for, one way deliveries? I would show you the inside of one upon return...
but thats classified
