DONALD Trump could be set to take America back to the Moon following his victory in the presidential election.

Observers of the US space programme say that if the President-elect appoints Newt Gingrich to high profile position NASA could see it drafted in to build a permanent base on the moon.

hmm could be good.

Hasn't the world decided a moon base isn't that useful since the environment is so hostile and there's not much there of use?

Helium 3

But as a longer term strategy we need to be looking at Mars and probably more so the Asteroids.

It's a bit like the invention of the laser. It had no use at first but later it has infinite uses.

Manned moon shots should be pretty much routine by now.

Trump should setting his sights on a manned mission to Mars, before the Russkies get there!
