Overton @overton_news · Jan 11 NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman explains why President Trump is one of the MOST pro-space presidents in modern history. Isaacman says Trump understands space is about more than just exploration...it’s national security, economic power, and long-term dominance. He also confirmed plans for an American moon base. ISAACMAN: “Space certainly is a national security issue. The high ground has always mattered throughout human history.” “We have a president in President Trump who knows that and appreciates it.” “President Trump created the Space Force during his first term specifically to have a dedicated team of war fighters that are capable of protecting that ultimate high ground.” “President Trump also appreciates the peaceful exploration for science and discovery in space, that’s what he created the Artemis Program during his first term, which was committing American astronauts to return to the moon.” “And now recently he established a national space policy that says; not only will we go back to the moon but we’re going to build a moon base, were going back to stay.” “We’re going to build the infrastructure on the moon to realize its scientific, economic and national security potential and do the other things.” “The president said we have to invest in nuclear power and propulsion in space to set up for future giant leaps to Mars and beyond.” “The president said we need an orbital economy in space so that space is not perpetually funded by taxpayers and the president said we need to increase the rate of world changing science and discovery; more telescopes, more rovers on Mars and beyond.”
