Trump, Mars, and NASA's future

Tabitha M. Powledge speculates on what's ahead for America in space: "It seems likely to nearly everybody that the TrumPets will try to get rid of NASA’s work on climate change, given that Trump has declared it to be a Chinese hoax and surrounded himself with fossil fuelers. But what will they do about space? Sending a (successful) manned mission to Mars would probably Make America Great Again. But it couldn’t be carried out in the lifetime of a Trump administration."
