President Trump is looking for a fight to win and he’s settled on space — specifically, landing Americans on the moon. The only problem is that space shouldn’t be a fight, and, even if it were, landing on the moon (again) isn’t a battle to be won.

Don’t tell that to Vice President Mike Pence, though. This week, he was Trump’s designated messenger to tell NASA that they need to pick up the pace and send Americans back to the moon ASAP.
