And I'll tell you, we're going to bring everybody along with us.

We're going to put observation satellites up, communication satellites up.

Heck, there's going to be a NASA moon base website where people are going to log in and watch the moon base being constructed almost in real time.

I look, I think this is extremely fair, right?

I mean, for 35 years, every president has called for a return to the moon.

It sounds good, but what about putting it in practice?

President Trump during his first term created the Artemis program.

President Trump, on my first day on the job, the day I was sworn in, gave me a national space policy and an executive order that said get back to the moon and do it to stay this time, build the moon base, and invest in the next giant leap capabilities.

We're going to launch a nuclear-powered spaceship in 2028 called Freedom, SR-1 Freedom.

That's going to be nuclear power and propulsion, and it's going to deliver a scientific payload to Mars because that's the kind of capabilities you're going to need someday for Mars.

So you're absolutely right.

We took a break from deep space exploration for a while.

We didn't have a competitor.

We won the first race, but we have a competitor now.

The new race is on.

It's to get back to the moon.

It's to do it to stay.

It's to learn so you can undertake.

You know, big, bold endeavors like going to Mars someday.

That's what the president has put in motion.
