Trump's mysterious tweet: claims that the Moon is part of Mars

WASHINGTON.- The American president,

Donald Trump

, said today that the Moon is part of March, in a tweet published to criticize the decision of the

NASA

to offer tourist trips to the International Space Station (ISS) from 2020.

"With all the money we've spent, NASA should not talk about going to the moon – which we did 50 years ago – it should focus on much more important things than we do, including Mars (whose Moon is Defense and Science! ", he writes in his account.

NASA announced today the opening of the IEE to tourist travel starting in 2020, as well as to other possible commercial uses, with the aim of creating "a very robust space economy "led by the private sector to accelerate scientific research programs.

NASA's CFO, Jeff DeWit, explained at a press conference that these tourist trips would help cover some of the space agency's spending, freeing up more money for its purpose to return to the Moon in 2024 and send people to Mars. .

NASA calculates that it will be possible to make two tourist trips per year of a duration of at least 30 days for which a ship developed by the space agency will be used, but whose crew and training will depend on private companies. "There is a lot of enthusiasm in the commercial sector," said DeWit.

The ISS is the result of the collaboration of five space agencies representing 15 countries. It took ten years and more than 30 missions to bademble it. The first segment was launched in Russia in 1989. It currently has the size of a football stadium, has a crew since 2000 and orbits 400 kilometers from the Earth.
