Friday, 7 February 2025 - 18 minutes

The US is back in the race to the moon but this time, the competition is China. Determined not to lose, President Donald Trump is pushing for America to return to the moon, backed by billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. But as costs rise and delays mount, could the focus shift from the moon to Mars?  On the Sky News Daily podcast, Tom Cheshire speaks to Science and Technology editor Tom Clarke and space journalist Eric Berger about the escalating price of securing America's place in the space race - and whether Mars could be the next "MAGA mission". Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse  Editor: Philly Beaumont and Paul Stanworth
