Trump's Space Policy: A Boost for Musk and a Shakeup for NASA

NASA faces pressure to downsize its aging infrastructure, with many facilities underutilized and costly to maintain. Despite past resistance from Congress to protect jobs, the Trump administration, with support from SpaceX's Elon Musk, may push for closures or consolidations of NASA's major centers. This move aims to cut government spending and shift more responsibilities to private space companies, though it faces political challenges, especially in states with significant NASA presence.
