In 2017 the Trump administration signed its first space policy directive. It asked NASA to send astronauts back to the moon by 2024, and establish a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface by 2028. According to NASA Program Manager Mark Kirasich, the revitalized space program will also seek to develop ties with private enterprise, exploiting opportunities such as mining and tourism. "We’re working on commercializing the International Space Station. Tourist sorts of things, scientific endeavors...mining on the moon. We’re trying to motivate businesses that can then make a profit by flying space missions”, says Kirasich. NASA flight director Jeff Radigan predicts exciting times ahead for the agency. ”Where I see us in 20 years is taking that first trip to Mars", says Radigan. "Where I see us in 40 years is doing the same thing around Mars that we're doing around the moon today, which is having that permanent presence having those folks there for a year or more and just continuing out into the solar system.” Go behind the scenes with NASA insiders for an in-depth look at the future of space exploration.
