Trump Administration Plans to Disband National Space Council, Sources Say, Amid SpaceX Lobbying Efforts
Jan 21, 2025, 10:07 PM
The Trump administration is reportedly planning to disband the National Space Council, a policy panel that oversees U.S. space initiatives across civil, commercial, and defense sectors. Sources indicate that this decision follows lobbying efforts from SpaceX, the aerospace company founded by Elon Musk. The National Space Council, which was revived in 2017, is chaired by the Vice President and was originally established in 1989 during the George H. W. Bush administration. The potential dissolution of the council reflects a shift in space policy under President Trump's new administration.
