TRUMP SIGNS ORDER TO RE-ESTABLISH NATIONAL SPACE COUNCIL
The council existed previously from 1989-1993, and a version of it also existed as the National Aeronautics and Space Council from 1958-1973."I am pleased that President Trump has signed an executive order re-establishing the National Space Council," said Robert Lightfoot, acting NASA Administrator.The directive to re-launch the council was part of the promise by Trump's presidential campaign. Vice President Mike Pence announced in March that he would chair the reinstated council."Today's (Friday) announcement sends a clear signal to the world that we are restoring America's proud legacy of leadership in space," Trump said after signing the order.
"Our Vice President cares very deeply about space policy, and for good reason. Space exploration is not only essential to our character as a nation, but also our economy and our great nation's security," he added.
