'NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon,' Trump tweeted. 'We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!'

President Donald Trump on Friday that NASA should focus on going to Mars, not the moon, weeks after he proclaimed his support for a lunar mission.

"NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon," Trump tweeted. "We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars , Defense and Science!"The moon seen from the International Space Station on July 9, 2018.NEW YORK – President Donald Trump on Friday that NASA should focus on going to Mars, not the moon, weeks after he proclaimed his support for a lunar mission.

"NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon," Trump tweeted. "We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars , Defense and Science!""Under my Administration, we are restoring NASA to greatness and we are going back to the Moon, then Mars," Trump said a few weeks ago.

Trump had tasked the agency with landing U.S. astronauts on the moon within five years, far ahead of NASA's previous deadline of 2028. In an initiative called Moon 2024, the agency accelerated its plans and shrunk timelines to meet the president's deadline. "We've been given an ambitious and exciting goal. History has proven when we're given a task by the president, along with the resources and the tools, we can deliver," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in an April statement.

Mars is where all the drug adicts should be sent to end the drug problems

A distortion of what he really said and the current program objectives.

He probably got confused between the 2 of them

Maybe if we put a bag over his head, he’ll go to sleep like a parakeet. I’d recommend a thick plastic one while we’re at it.

SendNancy!

He might want to put the Democrats on board I suspect.

Next week it will be Neptune!

Just rent the movie, TheMartian and save America a few Billion dollars.

How amusing that he thinks he knows anything about space exploration.

Mr Trump should go first and check it out for us.

Even the geniuses at cnbc lose reasoning ability when listening to Trump. I wonder how many viewers check their brains at the door when watching? I’m starting to wonder how much ideology affects people’s ability to think...

Lol.

what about Uranus?

Let’s send the fake news media to deep space....

Space travel is a grand HOAX. WAKE up. Sheeple.

Should send trump to the sun

Perhaps NASA could arrange space on that trip for Humpty-Trumpty to go along!! 😁😁😁

A wise man once said “the moon is out of batteries Donald, why don’t you go to Mars instead?”

WE HAVE TO GO TO MARS

He is an embarrassment for US!

Right and you should go too

How about sending Trump to Mars?

Maybe he doesn't know the difference?

How about we just put Fox News in the Oval Office it would be simpler

Fake news. He said the moon was part of the mission to Mars.

But the moon and Mars are connected by a length of sturdy twine. They’re part of each other and quite simply cannot be separated!!! 💕

Get Ralph Kramden!

And he should go with them!

I do believe Kennedy once made a bold prediction about going to the moon and he to was criticized by quite a few! NOTHING WRONG WITH DREAMING BIG ! I'm sure the demwits will be out in full force criticizing this!

So. Like they never went before.

Oh who cares someone probably pop into the Oval Office and said I’ve been watching “Mars Attack’s“ let’s go there and he said sound good to me we’ve been to the moon anyways.

2018 was Record - Breaking year for crypto exchange hacks. Do not let it happen to you , Get your Ledger Nano X at promotional price directly from Ledger website.

He will want us to find the Death star. HamillHimself . thatsnostar

Sorry, didn't read the article because, really, why at this point.

Well for all he cares we can go to the f-ing saturn and freeze him over...

You just have to point the rocket a few degrees to the right, right? NASA

I'm confused. So we've been to Mars already because it's apart of the moon? So why are we going again, but not back to the moon?

$VRUS IS ON THAT RIDE!!!!

Trump and Elon Musk are basically the same person. Both pump stocks like they’re a penny stock promoter and make outlandish claims.

Isn't that the same thing basically?

How would you like to have negotiations with this guy. Or any conversation, for that matter

this tiny part of the history of earth is called 'when a moron governed America, and sh*t hit the fan* lol

Next week, it will be Pluto 🐶 🤣

lol the moron things the moon is a part of mars..

elonmusk tell me you had nothing to do with this. Otherwise I buy a Tesla

Trump calls Pelosi a 'nasty, vindictive, horrible person'Trump called Pelosi a 'nasty, vindictive, horrible person' after hearing that she wanted to see him go to prison DerangedDonald Majority shares her view...⏰💣✔ Nasty, vindictive, horrible person sounds more like words I'd use to describe him!

Nancy Pelosi wants Trump 'in prison.' Not likely.In a closed-door meeting with Democratic leaders on Wednesday, Nancy Pelosi sought to quell the rising calls for the impeachment of President Donald Trump by reportedly telling her colleagues, according to Politico: 'I don't want to see him impeached. I want to see him in prison.' It makes sense for Pelosi to throw this sort of rhetorical grenade, given her current somewhat tenuous position within her own caucus on Trump's impeachment. CillizzaCNN Likely: James Comey is far likely to end up in prison, although he will attempt to serve up 'bigger fish'. Prediction CillizzaCNN Prison ? DOJ should start looking into Pelosi family finances and deals over the post 20+ years she has been in Congress CillizzaCNN Dems gonna say anything at this point. Crying wolf wasn’t a smart strategy

Why it matters that Pelosi wants to see Trump 'in prison'When Pelosi said she wants to see Trump 'in prison,' I don't think it was a throwaway line; I think she was offering her members a credible alternative. MaddowBlog The Dems are so jealous of Trump they forgot why they were voted into office MaddowBlog Wait until more money starts flowing into the coffers of the far left candidates who are all in on impeachment. SpeakerPelosi will have to let it proceed. She'll lose the House (again). realDonaldTrump will be reelected in a landslide. Please impeach! MaddowBlog The chance of a president going to jail for crimes committed in prison is even lower.
