Folks, buckle up and aim skyward, because President Trump just launched the biggest moonshot since… well, the last time he told NASA to get off its backside. In a bold, visionary move that would make JFK whistle from the grave, President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order to return American boots to the Moon by 2028. That’s right, we’re going back. And this time, we’re not just planting flags. We’re planting roots.

The announcement came just hours after billionaire Jared Isaacman was sworn in as the new NASA administrator. Yes, you heard that correctly — not a bureaucrat, not a diversity hire, not someone who thinks “space” is a microaggression, but a man who actually flew in space and ran billion-dollar companies. Imagine that — competence.

Trump’s executive order lays out a plan that’s more ambitious than Joe Biden’s attempt to finish a sentence. The United States will return astronauts to the Moon by 2028, begin establishing a permanent lunar outpost by 2030, and deploy nuclear reactors both on the Moon and in orbit. Because when America goes big, we go nuclear — literally.

“Superiority in space is a measure of national vision and willpower,” Trump wrote. Translation: we’re done letting China and Elon Musk hog all the interstellar headlines. Space isn’t just about twinkling stars and astronaut ice cream anymore. It’s about securing American dominance, driving innovation, and making sure our grandchildren don’t end up learning Mandarin on Mars.

Let’s take a moment to contrast this with the Democrat approach to space. Remember under Obama, when NASA’s mission was rebranded to focus on “Muslim outreach”? We’re serious. Obama turned NASA into a glorified PR department — not for America, but for global feelings. And Biden? The guy couldn’t find the Moon with a telescope and a GPS. His administration was too busy pushing climate hysteria and DEI seminars in zero gravity to actually do something useful.

Meanwhile, Trump is treating space like the strategic frontier it is. This isn’t about vanity launches or virtue signals. It’s about national security. It’s about commercial development. It’s about winning — something Democrats seem allergic to unless it involves rigging systems and rewriting rules.

The executive order also demands results. NASA has until mid-March to deliver a concrete plan. Not a “task force,” not a “blue-ribbon panel,” but an actual roadmap. And by February, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology must present a draft for a National Initiative for American Space Nuclear Power. In other words, we’re not waiting around for another committee to debate pronoun usage in zero G.

This is what leadership looks like. While the Left obsesses over banning gas stoves and policing pronouns, Trump is setting the course for a new American century — one that reaches beyond Earth’s atmosphere and into the stars. And he’s doing it with urgency, clarity, and a team that actually knows what a rocket is.

In 1969, we walked on the Moon. In the decades that followed, we walked away from it. But now, under President Trump, we’re strapping back in. America is reclaiming its destiny, not just as a world leader, but as a spacefaring superpower. Because when Trump says America First, he means it — even if “first” now includes the Sea of Tranquility.

So let the Democrats keep their feet stuck in the mud of identity politics and climate catastrophism. We’ll be on the Moon, building reactors, planting flags, and making America not just great again — but galactic.
