The Trump administration wants NASA to send astronauts to the moon again.
NPR reports President Donald Trump has signed the "Space Policy Directive 1," which puts a focus on potentially having U.S. astronauts make trips beyond low-Earth orbit for the first time in decades. "The directive I'm signing today will refocus America's space program on human exploration and discovery," Trump said.
NASA's space shuttles have been retired since 2011, with Americans using Russian capsules to ride up to the International Space Station. Though there's now a new focus on going to the moon, the ultimate goal is to finally set foot on Mars.
