“I assume you’re going to be heading to Mars,” he said. “We’re going to be going to Mars very soon, and I think that’s something that we do have in mind.
“And we’re going to do the moon, and we’re going to go from there. We’re going to go to Mars, and we’re going to continue to be way ahead.”
“Some people smiled, they thought it was foolish, and now they’re finding it’s one of the most important things that we’ve done,” Trump added.
“We were losing to China and to Russia in space, and now we’re leading them by giant steps, and it’s a great thing.”
