Musk is predicted to play a pivotal role in the restructuring of NASA.

During the discussion at the Beyond Earth symposium held on November 12, former NASA employees and consultants stated that the Trump administration may closely examine key aspects of the space agency's operations, including its approach to human spaceflight, in order to accelerate progress or reduce costs.

A significant factor will be the influence of Musk, who supported the Republican during the election campaign.

The new, still-forming administration has not yet made any statements regarding its plans for NASA. However, discussion participants anticipate that Musk will play a pivotal role in the agency's restructuring.
