U.S. Vice President Mike Pence promised the Moon last week during the first meeting of the reconstituted U.S. National Space Council.
“We will return American astronauts to the Moon, not only to leave behind footprints and flags, but to build the foundation we need to send Americans to Mars and beyond,” Pence said at the 5 October meeting at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va.
