As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, the transition team has commenced drafting potential executive orders for modifying residential coverage under the Trump Administration.
Sources familiar with the five individuals on the staff, who have spent the past six weeks reviewing the home company’s exploration plans and assessing its feasibility, were careful to note that such teams are inherently advisory in their scope. While they do not establish formal coverage, nor does their work consistently foreshadow the trajectory that a new presidential administration will take when transitioning into power.
NASA’s efforts to establish clear objectives were influenced by the Trump administration’s desire for “substantial changes,” encompassing both enhanced efficiency and accelerated program implementation.
Not Enterprise as Ordinary
With a sprawling organization boasting ten regional offices across the United States, plus a central headquarters in Washington, D.C., the transition team has been struggling with an abundance of subject facilities, coupled with massive and cumbersome packages that are costly and slow to deliver results.
“One individual familiar with the group’s meetings said this wouldn’t be a typical enterprise-level discussion.” Their deliberations are fueled by a singular focus on swift and effective outcomes.
Donald Trump is poised to begin his second term as President just over a month away, with inauguration scheduled for January 20. Today, he is expected to issue a significant number of executive orders addressing key issues from his campaign platform. While considering comprehensive healthcare reform may be a priority for the new president, it’s more likely to be addressed later in his term.
According to one source, the White House transition team is reportedly drawing inspiration from public statements made by Trump, including his fascination with space exploration and a potential human settlement on Mars. Throughout a marketing campaign speech last fall, Donald Trump frequently cited SpaceX founder Elon Musk as an influential ally, acknowledging the significant contributions he made in terms of both financial support and personal dedication to the effort. Trump also expressed admiration for Musk’s ambitious vision to colonize Mars.
“We’re primarily focused on markets within the United States, with a secondary emphasis on expanding our reach into key international territories including Russia and China. My strategy involves consulting with Elon to discuss potential opportunities for growth.” Here is the rewritten text:
“Elon aims to launch rocket ships successfully to achieve our goal of colonizing Mars before the end of my lifetime. Additionally, we desire robust naval security in space.”
Concepts Beneath Consideration
Staff from the transition team have been deliberating on possible components for a government order or alternative policy guidelines. They embrace:
- By 2028, NASA aims to achieve a historic milestone: setting foot on the Moon and establishing a sustainable human presence, while also laying the groundwork for future missions to Mars.
- Deleting plans to launch the costly House Launch System rocket and, likely, the Orion spacecraft.
- Consolidating Goddard House’s Flight Heart and Ames Analysis Heart at Marshall House’s Flight Heart in Alabama.
- Shifting the headquarters from Washington, D.C. to a regional hub while maintaining a small administrative presence in the nation’s capital.
- What’s the strategy for greening the Apollo-inspired Artemis lunar mission? We’re exploring innovative solutions to minimize the ecological footprint of this historic endeavor. Can we reduce waste, energy consumption and emissions while still achieving our goal of sending humans back to the moon by 2024? Let’s get creative with sustainable design principles and see if we can make this ambitious project a model for eco-friendly space exploration
