Donald Trump expected to slash Nasa's climate change budget in favour of sending humans back to the moon - and beyond

US President-elect Donald Trump is set to slash Nasa's budget for monitoring climate change and instead set a goal of sending humans to the edge of the solar system by the end of the century, and possibly back to the moon.

Mr Trump, who has called climate change a "Chinese hoax", is believed to want to focus the agency on far-reaching, big banner goals in deep space rather than "Earth-centric climate change spending".

According to Bob Walker, who has advised Mr Trump on space policy, Nasa has been reduced to "a logistics agency concentrating on space station resupply and politically correct environmental monitoring".

Mr Walker, a former congressman who chaired President George W. Bush's Commission on the Future of the US Aerospace Industry, told The Telegraph: "We would start by having a stretch goal of exploring the entire solar system by the end of the century.

That would be a positive change.  NASA's mission changed to climate change was about the dumbest thing ever.  If Trump does the right thing at NASA, he'll get kudos from me.

How much of Nasa's budget is discretionary?

Good question.

Ted Cruz has been the chair of the committee that governs NASA and has led to outrage from the global warming alarmists within NASA but there is also a forward looking faction who have been pleased that Ted Cruz has encouraged more exploration and less looking at the tops of our clouds.

@Cripplecreek


There are many factions within the space community..


However the two main ones are anti human in space faction and human in space faction.  I find that that global warming alarmists faction are the anti human in space faction.

The global warming alarmists are anti-human in general.

I'm definitely in the humans in space faction. Rovers are fine for early missions but follow up missions should be humans with rovers as range extenders and pack mules.

I agree. I don't mind robot and human in space together.

Mars is ideal for human/drone joint missions. Astronauts on the surface can operate drones and rovers in real time many miles out from their base of operations.

Bender was made in Mexico so there is no way Trump would allow that.
