I thought the primary purpose of NASA was to make Muslims feel good about inventing the zero.
Both the La Grange points and the moon need to be secured before moving on.
Kick her butt out through the hatch as we go by Jupiter, and let her parachute in. 1. Landing and taking off again is too expensive.
2. Parachuting her in rules out a chance of her changing her mind. We can’t take that chance.
No, despite her wish, she's going to the moon where she can room with Alice Kramden.......

He’s an astronomer too!!! This is just too good.
We have one of the greatest solar systems. Trump will just unleash its powers.
The Space Program was the only government project that ever paid for itself.LOL. Yeah like AMTRAK and the USPS.
There MUST be a mistake here. It is well known that Conservatives are all anti-science!! /s
First thing Mr Trump needs to do with NASA is reconvert it back to a space exploration agency..........cancel Obama’s “NASA’s directive is to make Muslims feel good about themselves” BullSheet!
besides, the only way Muslims will really feel good about themselves is if they break free from their Moslem murder cult, and let Islam die for lack of membership
“We have one of the greatest solar systems. Trump will just unleash its powers.”
He will unleash them bigly.
ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS - EXCEPT EUROPA.
ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE
He and Barron can go see the new Heroes and Legends @ Cape Canaveral, wouldn’t that be cool?
Making NASA great again will be Pence’s job.
Pence? OK. Pence sounded quite good in the campaign...
Trump is even making the solar system Great Again!
...
Yes, the policy looks good to me.
Thank You Trump!
NASA has had this ridiculous Mars obsession going on for way too long. Time to clean house!

Commercial launch services. NASA as a space “business incubator” and “basic science institute”, like the hunt for life. This is how it should be!
“those proposing such should enlighten themselves about the principles of physics vis-a vis energy “
And how much is the cost of energy sources for rockets (hydrogen, kerosene, oxygen) versus the price of gold, platinum, gemstones like peridot, etc? Because that’s what you’re trading: cheap propellants for incredibly valuable returns.
“you can for practical purposes , “mine” almost anything from seawater or Rocky Mountain granite by the part per million than you can from outer space”
The concentrations of precious metals on a good asteroid are several times better than you find in the best mines on Earth. With zero overburden (the expensive part in mining is often removing overburden). Pre-crushed for you. With little energy required to lift it off the surface. Some steroids are also laced all the way through with peridot.
Of course you don’t even need to consider that because just the value of asteroid material alone is huge. The worst quality, rusted, un-aesthetic iron asteroid samples on Earth go for about $1000 a pound. Good stuff goes for thousands to millions of times more. And there’s a huge market for it.
There’s potential. Let’s go for it.
—then let it be funded privately—you are welcome to be the first investor——
