The Trump administration’s latest efforts in ramping up “American dominance in space” came in the form of a planned permanent U.S. presence “around and on the moon.”

The new move was announced during a speech by Vice President Mike Pence, who on Aug. 23 visited NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas to discuss the future of space exploration and the agency’s plans to return to the moon.
