michael collins who orbiting the moon for 21 1/2 hours while neil arm strong and buzz aldrin landed onart of this heroic mission. he's critical of trump. he thinks the focus should be on mars. he doesn't like the idea as trump tweeted friday, of going back to the moon first. go back to the moon, use it as a preparation mode to get to mars. that's been an idea that up until friday has been promoted by president trump. for whatever reason, trump is saying something a little differently. i think when he says the moon is part of mars, what he means is use the moon as a launch pad to mars but the tweet was very confusing. as with all things involving the president's twitter feed, what you wonder, is this tweet now policy? does nasa now have to change his plans or was he just expressing an opinion? that's a mystery. coming up on "apollo 11" this summer. a big summer full of space celebration events. i think a lot of space geeks would like to focus, to be on mars, to go somewhere where you have not been before. the president might be onto something with this focus on mars. >> if they want to
