"For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago," the president wrote on Twitter. "They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!" NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine said Trump was only reaffirming NASA's space plan. "As @POTUS said, @NASA is using the Moon to send humans to Mars!,” he said on Friday in a tweet referring to the President of the United States. The program takes its name from the twin sister of Apollo and the goddess of the moon in Greek mythology.
