Trump to sign executive order creating a national space council (see he can't be that bad) /s

ARS Technica

The key member of the council will be its chairman, Pence, who has shown a burgeoning interest in space matters. In early June, the vice president visited Johnson Space Center in Houston to address NASA's newest class of astronaut candidates. And last week, Pence visited two key space command facilities in Colorado, Schriever Air Force Base, and Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station. Two sources have also told Ars that he will visit NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida next week.



"Part of the actual "MISSION" - is to get NASA away from doing climate change studies and issuing reports - it's a "Truse" (typical Trump Ruse)

Put a crew on the first Orion circum-Luna mission. They're dying for headlines and the opportunity to boast.
