Trump pledges ‘golden age’ of space travel
US President Donald Trump aims to 'reinvigorate America's leadership in space transportation,' enabling over 1,000 launches and reentries on US soil every year by 2030.
President Donald Trump declared his intention to expand space travel in a recent memorandum, aiming to elevate the United States' position in the global space race. The policy, revealed by the White House, envisions a surge of over 1,000 launches and reentries on American soil annually by 2030. Trump challenged NASA to collaborate with private companies for commercial transportation to and from the Moon, as well as facilitate robotic exploration of Mars.
The administration also encouraged private investment in space exploration and urged the identification of new launch and landing sites. NASA is currently planning to test an in-orbit rendezvous between its spacecraft and a lunar lander by 2027, a task that private firms SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, and Blue Origin, led by Jeff Bezos, are competing to accomplish.
