Will Donald Trump get us to Mars and make NASA great again?

[RockstarChris]

Donald Trump has done a lot in his first 2 weeks as President. I think he will eventually focus on the space program and speed up preparations for going to Mars just because he wants to be the President that got us to Mars.

Obama destroyed the space shuttle program and ironically we can only go up into space now on Russian rockets.

NASA used to have a timeline for going to Mars but now their biggest goal is to land something on a nearby asteroid within 10-20 years.

I seriously doubt so, unless this guy manages to convince him.

trump doesnt seem that big on science
he is more focused on immigration, muslims and reducing the employment rate below the low of 4.9% its already at

trump will get nasa to tell us the earth is flat.

i think its weird that if you asked 100 people on the street if they would like some of government spending to be diverted to nasa, at least 90 of them would say yes

but nobody has it on their campaign platform

 

[7437]

No, obviously.

Its not even kinda the sort of thing he has been pushing. The opposite really.

I think he prefers sea level drama rather than space opera.

This is why I hate polls. Questions like that don't exist out of context. It's always a competition, so you can't ask questions like that unless you also tell them WHERE that money would be diverted from. Otherwise it's just propaganda.

waste of time

As of right now going to Mars is an epic waste of taxpayer money.

yeah because politicians always get that far into it when they put it on their platform, democrats often dont say where the moneys coming from for all their social spending, republicans often dont say where the moneys coming form when they say theyre going to beef up the military and national security.

my point is, they dont even give the empty promise, they just completely ignore the desire by the population


im sure they could give their normal stock answers if someone pressed them on it
republicans would probably say "instead of social programs"
democrats would probably say "instead of military spending"

Mars is red so it is obviously another Chinese Communist Conspiracy.
