The unusual pair-up of Trump and Musk could double down on the US's existing private industry-led space policy, possibly escalating an arms race in Earth's orbit.
During his first term, Trump previously suggested, 'NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago.' Instead, he prioritized Mars missions.
The inclusion of Musk could disrupt NASA's priorities, potentially emphasizing human spaceflight efforts, which have been long advocated by Musk himself.
While hypothetical, the collaboration between Trump and Musk raises significant questions about NASA's future direction amid ongoing reliance on private space initiatives.
