Trump tells astronauts he'd like Mars trip in first term

Sitting in the Oval Office Monday, President Trump spoke with two American astronauts currently living aboard the International Space Station. Trump, flanked by astronaut Kate Rubens and daughter Ivanka Trump, did a brief Q&A with NASA's Peggy Whitson, who just broke the record for the American who has spent the most days in space, and Jack Fischer, a new arrival to the space station. 'Better you than me,' Trump told the astronauts, when they talked about some of the things they have to do to live in space, such as turning their own urine into drinking water. The president, who signed a NASA bill last month with the aim of sending people to Mars, asked the astronauts when the trip was planned. 'I think, as your bill directed, it will be in the 2030s,' Whitson said.
