Trump tells NASA to send Americans to Moon

Washington: US President Donald Trump directed NASA on Monday to send Americans to the Moon for the first time in decades, a move he said would help prepare for a future Mars trip.

"This time we will not only plant our flag and leave our footprint," Trump said at the White House as he signed the new directive.

"We will establish a foundation for an eventual mission to Mars and perhaps someday to many worlds beyond."
