According to CCTV News, on Dec. 18 local time, the White House issued a statement saying that President Trump signed an executive order that day outlining a vision for an "America First" space policy to ensure that the United States "leads the world" in space exploration, security, and commerce.
The order calls for Americans to return to the moon by 2028 and establish initial facilities for a permanent lunar outpost by 2030, and directs the deployment of nuclear reactors on the moon and in orbit. The order aims to stimulate private sector innovation and investment by upgrading launch infrastructure and developing commercial pathways to replace the International Space Station by 2030. The order directs the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology to coordinate national space policy efforts and instructs federal departments and agencies to work together to implement the order, including streamlining procurement processes, implementing relevant space security strategies, and ensuring adequate human resources to achieve these goals.
