In an attempt to return U.S. astronauts to the moon within the next five years, the Trump administration will consider every available launch option and is not committed to “any one contractor,” Vice President Mike Pence said Tuesday.

A rendering shows NASA's Space Launch System, which was designed to carry a crew to deep space.

Last week, NASA said the agency and Boeing had outfitted most of the rocket’s core stage engine section with more than 500 sensors, miles of cables and other important systems. One of the rocket’s four RS-25 engines, made by Aerojet Rocketdyne, recently went through a series of tests, including a 500-second test firing.

“If our current contractors can’t meet this objective, then we’ll find ones that will,” Pence said. “If American industry can provide critical commercial services without government development, then we’ll buy them. And if commercial rockets are the only way to get American astronauts to the moon in the next five years, then commercial rockets it will be.”

“For sure worth giving it our best shot!” he tweeted. “Would be great to have a competitive, commercial program to build a moon base that is outcome-oriented , so you only get paid for safe delivery of cargo.”would be the first paying customer to ride around the moon

Cool cool. Contract with the Russians, and send Trump

That’s a lie. They’re committed to whomever likes their pockets.

...while trump simultaneously proposes billions in cuts to the USDE, attempts to cancel aid to PuertoRico, and contorts the Justice Department into rescinding healthcare for millions with PreExistingConditions. WinningBigly

Please take Trump and his family and leave them on the moon.

Why do we need to spend money to go to the moon? Is a big mfer asteroid coming or something? I think people are still starving on earth

Have you reported on Chicago today

We’ve never sent a man to the moon. We can’t do it now and we certainly couldn’t do it 50 years ago. Don’t keep pushing this BS FakeNews. NASA is a scam. And anyone reporting a 1969 moonwalk as truth is a scam too.

can't pay for healthcare, can't upgrade the national infrastructure, can't fund the special olympics, but we're gonna give elon musk or some other dumb ass like him a couple hundred million to fly to the moon.
