Moon or Mars? NASA’s future hangs in balance as Donald Trump, Elon Musk shape space policy

Live Mint  

Is NASA still Moonbound, or will the next giant leap mean skipping straight to Mars? Speculation is mounting that the Trump administration may scale back or cancel NASA's Artemis missions following the departure of a key official and Boeing's plans to lay off hundreds of employees working on its lunar rocket. Though Artemis was conceived in President Donald Trump's first term, he has openly mused about bypassing the Moon and heading straight to Mars -- a notion gaining traction as Elon Musk, the world's richest person and SpaceX's owner, becomes a key ally and advisor. Boeing this month told employees it could 400 jobs from the Space Launch System rocket program to "align with revisions to the Artemis program and cost expectation." Space policy analyst Laura Forczyk noted Free had been in line to become NASA's interim administrator before being passed over in favor of another official, Janet Petro.
