In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk's aspirations to carry humans to Mars are expected to gain momentum following Donald Trump's presidential election win.

Insiders suggest that Trump's administration is poised to make the Red Planet a national priority, and this could signify substantial changes for NASA's current moon-focused Artemis program.

The program currently utilizes SpaceX's Starship rocket as a stepping stone for eventual Mars missions, and under Trump's space agenda, there's likely to be an increased emphasis on uncrewed missions to Mars this decade.
