Trump signs executive order for Moon mission 2028
New Delhi: The United States has set itself a bold new space deadline, and it feels like one of those moments where science, politics and ambition suddenly crash into each other. President Donald J. Trump has signed a new Executive Order that puts an official clock on America’s return to the Moon, promising to send astronauts back by 2028 and begin work toward a permanent human outpost soon after.
The White House confirmed the order on December 18, 2025, and it has already sparked a mix of excitement, curiosity and debate inside science circles. The order talks about space exploration, national security, and even nuclear power in space as part of a much larger strategy. Reading it honestly felt like a mix of sci fi dream and real world policy.
The order states that the United States will lead........
