Elon Musk has hit back at claims that President Donald Trump’s new NASA bill will be good for his space exploration business, saying it does nothing to get SpaceX's mission to Mars off the ground. Musk also claims the new funding will not provide a boost to his aims of making commercial travel to Mars a reality for the public.
The S.442 funding bill, signed by President Trump, is the first of its kind to pass through Congress in six years and will help facilitate NASA's deep space exploration projects and promote private-public partnerships, job creation, "achieving human exploration of Mars and beyond," and legally commits NASA to draft plans that could get a “crewed mission to Mars in the 2030s.”
