For Donald Trump, the Moon "is part of Mars"
Twitter slips, US president says Nasa should not invest in projects to return to the moon, for which it pledged $ 1.6 billio
The Moon is a satellite of Earth. Mars is another planet in the solar system, right? No, according to the president of the United States, Donald Trump . As the Republican, who does not believe in global warming, "teaches", the Moon is part of the "Red Planet".
In a confusing posting on his official Twitter page on Friday, the US president said that the US Special Agency ( NASA ) does not need to invest in projects to return to the moon, but rather "focus on much bigger things that we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is part). "
Trump touched on investments already made by the American space agency to return to Earth's only satellite - the same ones he recommended last May. At that time, he said he would allocate $ 1.6 billion more from the national budget for NASA to re-invest in a new space trip to the moon.
It was not clear what made the president change his mind. According to Trump, returning to Earth's natural satellite should not be a priority. And rightly he concluded: "We've done that for 50 years.
For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!
Twitter followers irked and distilled ironies and humor in their comments on the Republican's post. Several of them questioned the leader's change of stance on the new moon mission, while others mocked his position on the satellite belonging to Mars.
"Wait, is the moon part of Mars? Did I miss this day in Science class? "Joked a follower.
"Imagine how he talks to other world leaders during tough negotiations with translators. If Trump is confusing and inconsistent on Twitter in English, imagine what happens elsewhere. It's scary and absolutely dangerous, "another user wrote.
The Moon is not part of Mars, but feel free to serve your jail sentence on any of them!" Wrote another follower, referring to impeachment and criminal initiation proceedings against Trump raised by members of the Party Democrat
.Following the US president's posting, the term The Moon became one of the most talked about on Twitter this Friday, 7. Earlier, NASA announced the opening of the International Space Station (ISS) for travel and companies from 2020 onwards.
The measure allows private companies to rent for part of the ISS. Among commercial purposes, travel could be used for movie and advertisement recording, as well as new product testing. Trump has yet to express interest in the social networking tour.
