太空计划 唐纳德·特朗普 中东地区
阿尔忒弥斯II号宇航员、NASA指挥官里德·怀斯曼、NASA飞行员维克多·格洛弗、NASA任务专家克里斯蒂娜·科赫以及加拿大航天局（CSA）任务专家杰里米·汉森，于2026年4月29日在华盛顿特区白宫椭圆形办公室活动期间，站在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普身旁接受媒体提问。
阿尔忒弥斯II号宇航员完成环月往返任务后，于周三下午到访白宫椭圆形办公室——期间唐纳德·特朗普总统谈论了UFO、太空军以及伊朗战争。
身着蓝色夹克的NASA宇航员里德·怀斯曼、维克多·格洛弗、克里斯蒂娜·科赫和加拿大航天局宇航员杰里米·汉森，在白宫记者到场时，站在带有镀金月球模型的坚毅办公桌后的特朗普身后。NASA局长贾里德·艾萨克曼也与宇航员们一同站立。
“我不知道他们是怎么做到的。我可不想干这份工作，但正是这类人才让我们的国家变得伟大，”特朗普说道。
特朗普简要梳理了自己在太空领域的优先事项，部分问题是在记者提问时展开的：他炫耀了自己在首个任期内推动成立太空军这一军事分支的举措，重申了公开与UFO相关机密材料的意图，并表示在他的总统任期内，“有很大机会”实现另一个人踏上月球。
“我们不会说得太绝对，因为那样的话人们会说‘哦，我们失败了’，”特朗普说。“所以我们有很大机会。我们已经批准了相关计划。”
艾萨克曼证实了2028年再次将宇航员送上月球表面的计划，并详细说明了阿尔忒弥斯三号任务将于2027年发射的持续规划。他还表示NASA总部将留在华盛顿特区，称身处国家首都也是一项“优势”——这一说法得到了特朗普的赞同。
活动的其余部分变成了一场相当随性的新闻发布会，这在特朗普近期的多数公开活动中都是常见风险。大约两周前，特朗普邀请了一位DoorDash外卖员到访白宫，以宣传其所在政党的减税政策。当时该女子站在特朗普身旁，特朗普回答了有关伊朗战争的问题，并试图征询她对跨性别女性参与女子体育赛事的看法。
特朗普周三并未要求宇航员就他的言论发表看法，但当他称赞最高法院限制《选举权法案》的裁决、坚称前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米通过社交媒体帖子威胁过他的生命，并表示乌克兰和伊朗战争的结束可能会按“类似时间表”推进时，宇航员们始终面无表情地站在一旁。
此次活动与任务本身存在相似之处，阿尔忒弥斯计划的一些里程碑被美伊战争盖过了风头。
4月6日，宇航员们完成了距离地球最远的航行——绕月球暗面飞行——之后，次日的多数新闻报道都聚焦于特朗普次日上午针对伊朗的惊人威胁。他写道：“今晚整个文明都将覆灭，永无复存之日。我不希望这种事发生，但它很可能会发生。”
据白宫照片显示，特朗普曾与国务卿马可·卢比奥一同观看发射升空，总统当时称赞该任务是美国霸权的例证。
“我们在太空、地球以及所有介于其间的领域——经济、军事，如今还有星际领域——都在获胜！无人能及！”特朗普在发射前在Truth Social平台上写道。
宇航员顺利返回后，特朗普祝贺他们完成了“惊人”壮举，并邀请机组人员到访白宫。
“我们会再次做到这一点，然后下一步，火星！”特朗普说。
Trump welcomes Artemis II astronauts to Oval Office — and fields questions on Iran, Comey and UFOs

The Artemis II astronauts’ journey to the moon and back landed them at the White House Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon — standing by while President Donald Trump talked UFOs, the Space Force and the Iran war.
Sporting blue jackets, NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen stood behind Trump at the Resolute Desk — which had a gold-plated model of the moon on it — as White House reporters were brought in. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman also stood alongside the astronauts.
“I don’t know how they do it. I wouldn’t want to do it, but it takes people like this to make our country great,” Trump said.
Trump briefly ran through his own space-related priorities, some at the prompting of reporters: touting his move to start the military branch Space Force in his first term, reiterating his intention to release classified material related to UFOs and saying there was a “good shot” that another person would walk on the moon during his presidency.
“We don’t like to say definitely, because then you say, ‘Oh, we failed,’” Trump said. “So we have a good shot. We’ve authorized it.”
Issacman confirmed efforts to send a person to the moon’s surface again in 2028, as well as detailing continued plans to launch an Artemis III mission in 2027. He also said NASA headquarters will remain in Washington, DC, calling it an “advantage” to be in the nation’s capital — an assertion Trump agreed with.
The rest of the event became a somewhat freewheeling press conference, a common risk during most of Trump’s public events these days. About two weeks ago, Trump welcomed a DoorDash delivery woman to the White House in an effort to tout his party’s tax cuts. The woman then stood next to Trump while he answered questions about the Iran war and tried to solicit her opinion on transgender women playing in women’s sports.
Trump didn’t ask the astronauts to weigh in on his comments Wednesday, but they stood by with carefully neutral expressions as he praised a Supreme Court decision to limit the Voting Rights Act, insisted that former FBI Director James Comey had threatened his life with a social media post and said the end of wars in Ukraine and Iran would probably happen on a “similar timetable.”
There were parallels to the mission itself, as some of the Artemis milestones were eclipsed by the war with Iran.
After the astronauts marked the achievement of traveling the furthest distance from Earth — as they circled around the dark side of the moon on April 6 — much of the news coverage the next day focused on Trump’s remarkable threat on Iran the next morning. He wrote: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”
Trump had watched the launch alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as photographed by the White House, and the president had touted the mission as an example of American dominance.
“We are WINNING, in Space, on Earth, and everywhere in between — Economically, Militarily, and now, BEYOND THE STARS. Nobody comes close!” Trump wrote on Truth Social before liftoff.
When the astronauts successfully returned, Trump congratulated them on their “spectacular” feat and invited the crew to the White House.
“We’ll be doing it again and then, next step, Mars!” Trump said.
