Trump said he was considering attending the launch while talking to reporters on Thursday, jokingly remarking he'd like to put the press in the rocket to get rid of them for a while. The New York Post reported a senior official confirmed the president's attendance for May 27.

He is the most Pro-Space President in our lifetime.

DJT grew up with the space program .... he was 21 when we landed on the moon. He remembers the challenge, the unity, the pride. I think part of his reasoning is to recapture that feeling for America's younger generations.

I remember when Obama ended the space shuttle and the iconic plane flew over WDC as part of its farewell tour. Gathered on the roof of our office building we were all amazed by how sad it made us feel.

We are a people who craves grand challenges. Hopefully, interest in space exploration will be reignited in our younger folks.

I agree, @kevindavis and you know more about this than I do, but I think that the focus on the Space Force is because of Chiner.... I think that the CCP has already launched satellites that can take down (or at least impair) our military and key commercial satellites....

Yes they did.. I know a lot of people are mocking the Space Force on Twitter (surprise), but it is needed. We will see a battle in space in our lifetime.

I think that is true.... and thankfully Trump is working to ensure that we will be prepared for it...
