Vice President Mike Pence announced on Tuesday the administration’s plans for Americans to return to the moon within the next five years as the 50th anniversary of the first manned mission to the moon approaches.

Speaking at the United States Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, Pence said that the estimated year of 2028 for the next American on the moon was “just not good enough.”

“It is the stated policy of this administration and the United States of America to return American astronauts to the moon within the next five years,” Pence said.

“Some will say it’s too hard, it’s too risky, it’s too expensive. But the same was said back in 1962,” Pence said.

Pence attributed the delay in progress getting Americans to the moon to the space launch system (SLS) being plagued by “bureaucratic inertia” and “paralysis of analysis.” In their recent budget proposal, however, the Trump administration proposed cutting the funding for the SLS moon rocket by 15%.

What about the other things?

Why?

• What about the other things?

Seems that they were too hard…

Why?

Beat the Chinese maybe, another space race is better than another arms race

Trump has just nominated U.S. Air Force General John “Jay” Raymond to lead the U.S. Space Command, a new combatant command that will oversee the military’s missions and fighting in space.

Coincidence?

Pence “Psssttt, kii”

kii “What !?” sounding irritated

Pence “Trump is going on the rocket he’s not coming back”

kii “Sweet”

Only if he takes Pence and the rest of the sewer creatures with him. I don’t like the “drain the swamp” thing. Swamps are actually beneficial.

I wonder whether JFK also had a rule against being in a room with a woman other than his wife.

I think the “drain the swamp” thing came from the Romans draining the swamps near Rome to get rid of malaria.

If he was in a room with a woman who wasn’t his wife he was normally against her.

JFK was more about a ‘share conquests with my brother’ rule.

I wonder why Trump didn’t announce this. If is a pretty big deal.

He’s still basking in his exoneration.

Probably playing with his belly button

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump was a moon landing hoax conspiracy believer so he couldn’t make a speech about a “return” to the moon…

I heard the whole White House is going and wont be back.

And you thought Pence was just a piece of sputum. Good news.

Rump couldn’t announce this because he won the election on the promise of cancelling NASA.

The US space program is one thing they should be proud of and not something to get rid of.
