DONALD TRUMP SIGNS ORDER ENCOURAGING U.S. TO MINE THE MOON FOR MINERALS

On Monday, Trump signed the executive order called the Encouraging International 
Support for the Recovery and Use of Space Resources. The directive states that the
1967 Outer Space Treaty allows for the use of space resources on the moon, Mars 
and elsewhere."  Supportive policy regarding the recovery and use of space 
resources is important to the creation of a stable and predictable investment 
environment for commercial space innovators and entrepreneurs, and it is vital to 
the long-term sustainability of human exploration and development of the Moon, 
Mars, and other destinations," the order reads.
