Trump signed the Executive Order that allows America to dig into the moon and Mars for minerals

The executive order makes it clear that the US does not view space as good global “, paving the way for Monday's digging without any kind of international treaty.

The Americas must have the right to make commercial explorations, regenerations, and resource use in space,” writes on this order, stressing that the US had never signed the 1979 agreement known as Monday's treaty, reports The Guardian, which translates Periscopi.

This agreement stipulates that any activity in space should be consistent with international law. In 2015, the U.S. Congress passed a law that effectively allows American companies to use resources from land and asteroids.

Under Donald Trump's executive order, the US will reject any attempt to use international law to prevent its efforts to remove parts of the moon, or, if the opportunity arises, to dig on Mars planet and other “celestial bodies”.

The new zeal of Donald Trump's administration to start drilling on the moon is consistent with his enthusiastic support for the resumption of land excavations.

The Trump has also had constant interest in establishing American power in space, forming what is known as the Space Force within the U.S. Army last year, and which would wage spatial warfare if necessary.

The president had seemed confused about the composition of space, however, when he posted on Twitter during the month of June last year that Nasa “should focus on bigger things we will do, including the planet Mars (the part of which is the moon).

It's not clear whether the president really thinks the moon is part of Mars, although they're actually completely separate from the moon, which is Earth satellite with 238 thousand miles away from our planet, and Mars, which is also the planet itself, is about 140 million miles from the earth. /Periscope
