The White House says Pres. Donald Trump will be on the Florida coast Wednesday to watch American astronauts blast into orbit from the Kennedy Space Center.

The SpaceX Demo-2 test flight will carry two NASA astronauts and is scheduled for Wednesday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.plans to be on the Florida coast Wednesday to watch American astronauts blast into orbit from the Kennedy Space Center for the first time in nearly a decade.

The NASA/SpaceX Commercial Crew flight test launch will carry NASA’s newest test pilots, Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken, in a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The shift to private companies allows NASA to zero in on deep space travel. The space agency is working to return astronauts to the moon by 2024 under orders from the White House, but that deadline appears increasingly unlikely even as three newly chosen commercial teams rush to develop lunar landers. Mars also beckons.

“Our destiny, beyond the Earth, is not only a matter of national identity, but a matter of national security," Trump said in a statement.

Omg... idiot on the loo .. I mean loose !!!

Why?

Can the astronauts take realDonaldTrump with them and leave him in space?

elonmusk Congrats Sir....

Can you see the launch from the 4th tee?

Can they sneak him in for a one way trip?

Do they have a golf course there?

Will you please drop trump off somewhere up there while your there

Campaigning on the Federal dollar, not legal surely.

Can he go too?🤗

Amazing president

Golfing again eh donni 😾

Getting his face on TV for free as he campaigns for Trump and only Trump

ANOTHER PAST-TIME FOR TRUMP RATHER THAN DEAL W/ FAILED ECONOMY, LARGE UNEMPLOYMENT & JOBLESS, HUNGER LINES, PANDEMIC KILLING 100,000+ [IN REALITY] & MANY HOSPITALS STILLING STRUGGLING TO GET NEEDED EQUIPMENT; NOT DEALING W/THE STRAINS ON STATE/LOCAL GOVTS!

I thought he was to busy to turn over tax records? Supreme Court?

Unless they're gonna launch his fat ass into space for a one way trip to Mars... I don't care... do you?

With a trip to Mara lago I’m sure

trumps wants to steal the spotlight in that rocket launching. 😬😬😬 BUT people know that the real hero who makes possible those 2 🇺🇸 astronauts to get in orbit is spaceX's visionary elon musk, not trump 🤚 (my opinion)

Maybe they will let him ride along

With Trump's record of abject failure that's not really a good sign for the astronauts

Trump being an evil man that brought the COVIDー19 pandemic upon us, should be excused from attending that launch because I’m afraid his presence would bring ill-luck and things not going well.

Strap him to the outside

Hey NASA! Nice rocket dudes! PS - Can you take Donald up along with this rocket for a bit so the adults can sort out the TOTAL MESS he's made of EVERYTHING?

Can we attach him to the outside of the shuttle? Lol

Would it be impolite to suggest that he get a launch pad seat?

But he can't get to Florida to vote in person, huh?

Maybe he can go too!

Strap him to the rocket.

Hope they can attach him to the shuttle and blast him off to Mars or anywhere far enough from this planet!

Hey realDonaldTrump Why don’t you get aboard?

After a decade. Trump is finally putting American astronaut in space with made in America rockets and not use of Russian rockets that Obama did. Oops. Most of you didn't Know about.

Sweet! Sending the virus into space!

Won't the gravitational pull from his gargantuan ego alter the rockets flight path

We sending him to the moon? Please?

I hope Trump wears his mask and keep his distance.

President Trump not stuck in Bunker and extremely active! Certainly full time President working for USA!

He’s spreading the virus everywhere he goes!

Can they strap him on it 🙄

Sounds like a 5 day bender at Mara-Lago next week.

Golf today, rocket launch tomorrow. Makes perfect sense as America crosses the 100,000 fatality threshold. realDonaldTrump has nothing else to do, but America take heart, Canada is closing in on a cure.

Beats working

All of you are so traumatized from that idiot “44” of which did NOTHING .

We the people are so stupid to think we don’t know why he is choosing these states to rally? He is sickening.

Could you make sure he sits directly under the rocket for the best view possible!
