U.S. President trump signed an order at the White House on the 11th, instructing NASA to launch the space exploration program, send American astronauts back to the moon, and lay the foundation for landing on Mars.
Trump said in a speech that day that the signing of the order will refocus the United States on space exploration and discovery and take the first step back to the moon. He said: 'this time, we will not only put in a national flag and leave a string of footprints, but also lay a foundation for landing on Mars and other planets. '
Trump said that the use of space is of great value, and the United States will once again become a leader in the field of human space exploration, which is very important for the United States.

At its meeting in October this year, the committee reached a consensus that the United States should send astronauts back to the moon for long-term development and utilization.

NASA said in a press release that it would fully support Trump's order to launch a return to the moon program, and said that the budget application report for fiscal 2019 would reflect the work arrangements for implementing the order.
