During a White House meeting commemorating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Aldrin shared his concerns directly with President Trump.
President Trump questioned the current strategy of using the moon as a stepping stone to Mars, suggesting a direct mission to the red planet, a sentiment echoed by fellow astronaut Michael Collins.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
