  • Donald Trump and Elon Musk are set to massively slash costs at NASA. They will likely take aim at extremely costly programs and unused infrastructure.

The article from Interesting Engineering discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's significant influence on NASA and the space industry, particularly through his administration's policies and support for private space companies like SpaceX. Trump's administration marked a shift towards commercial spaceflight, with key actions including the signing of Space Policy Directive-1, which aimed to return humans to the Moon and eventually Mars. This directive led to the Artemis program, which has seen renewed interest and funding. Additionally, Trump's policies favored deregulation and incentivized private sector involvement in space exploration, notably benefiting SpaceX. The company, led by Elon Musk, received substantial contracts for missions like crewed flights to the International Space Station (ISS) and lunar lander development. The article highlights how these policies have not only accelerated NASA's plans but also fostered a competitive environment in space travel, potentially setting the stage for future advancements in space exploration.
