News) U.S. President Donald Trump took a major step for all the wannabe space miners out there this week by signing an executive order that supports the exploration and the use of space resources by the U.S. citizens and businesses.
“This Executive Order establishes U.S. policy toward the recovery and use of space resources, such as water and certain minerals, in order to encourage the commercial development of space,” Scott Pace, deputy assistant to the president and executive secretary of the National Space Council, said in a statement on Monday.
