The potential dissolution of the National Space Council under President Trump's new term raises concerns among space advocates. Established in 2017, the council aimed to oversee and synchronize U.S. space activities. However, reports suggest Trump may eliminate it due to influence from SpaceX. Despite worries, some argue this concern is exaggerated since the administration has an established strategy from its first term. The National Strategy for Space and previously defined Space Policy Directives are believed to be sufficient for guiding U.S. space efforts without the council's oversight.
The National Strategy for Space was never fully implemented, neither were the Space Policy Directives (SPDs), which should provide the framework for American excellence in space.
Concerns over dis-establishment of the National Space Council may be overblown, as the President already has a strategy from his first term.
