Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump runs a little hot and cold on the U.S. space program.
During his Reddit AMA (https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/4uxdbn/im_donald_j_trump_and_im_your_next_president_of/d5ton5k) last week, Trump extolled the virtues of NASA, saying that he thinks the space agency is "wonderful" and that "America has always led the world in space exploration."*
On Wednesday, however, Trump sang a different tune.

"Somebody just asked me back stage, ‘Mr. Trump, will you get involved in the space program?' Look what’s happened with your employment. Look what’s happened with our whole history of space and leadership. Look what’s going on folks. We’re like a third-world nation." Read more...
