With the recent U.S. election results, Elon Musk’s influence on space exploration and technology may be bigger than ever. Musk has often voiced his ambition to send humans to Mars—possibly even before establishing a base on the Moon. But what does a second Trump administration mean for U.S. space policy and science priorities?
In this episode of Mr. Universe, Monte Belmonte and astrophysicist Salman Hameed discuss the potential impacts on space missions, science funding, and America’s role in the new space race.
An edited version of this segment airs on The Fabulous 413 on NPR/NEPM
