Vice President Mike Pence says the U.S. will send astronauts to the moon and Mars. Pence made that pledge in a speech to NASA workers at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida yesterday.
Pence said, quote, "Our nation will return to the moon and we will put American boots on the face of Mars." President Trump issued an executive order last Friday reviving the National Space Council with Pence as chairman. The council was established in 1989 by former President George H.W. Bush. It was disbanded in 1993.
