>$100 million in funding. The mission doesn't have to happen during the Trump administration, just the funding.
Does not have to be a crewed mission.

Update 2025-22-01 (PST): - NASA can officially lead the mission, if SpaceX is contracted to perform more than $100 million of work. (AI summary of creator comment)

What if it's officially a NASA mission but SpaceX is contracted to do more than $100m of work?

@Capresis yeah good point that’s probably how it would be framed, that should count

Changed title from “Will NASA under Trump help fund a SpaceX mission to Mars?” to “Will SpaceX get funding from Trump’s NASA for a Mars mission?”

bought Ṁ15 YES

100 mil is a bit lowball

Yeah a mission to mars probably wouldn't cost under $1B, I just wanted to put some threshold number in to rule out like NASA putting a small science payload on a SpaceX mission without providing significant funding.

Updated the title to say "help fund" instead of "fund"
