On Thursday Eastern Time, Trump signed an executive order that outlines a vision for the "America First" space policy to ensure that the United States "leads the world" in space exploration, security, and commercial endeavors.

The main objectives of this executive order include:

Returning to the Moon: Directing NASA to return Americans to the Moon by 2028 through the "Artemis Program."

Lunar Base: Establishing preliminary facilities for a permanent lunar outpost by 2030.

Space Nuclear Power: Promoting the deployment of nuclear reactors on the lunar surface and in orbit, with plans to be launch-ready by 2030.

Commercialization and the International Space Station: Aiming to replace the International Space Station (ISS) by 2030 through upgrading infrastructure and developing commercial pathways, stimulating private sector investment.

Space Security: Developing next-generation missile defense technologies (as part of the "Iron Dome" program) and enhancing detection capabilities for threats in the Earth-Moon space.

Overall, this executive order is a comprehensive plan that addresses many aspects of space policy, including proposals for the government to reform how it acquires space assets and invests in technology, and it is anticipated that by 2028, the U.S. space market will attract at least $50 billion in additional investments.
