Trump awards Elon Musk National Medal of Science
Original: Trump awards SpaceX founder Elon Musk National Medal of Science
President Trump has awarded SpaceX founder Elon Musk the National Medal of Science, one of the highest US honours for scientific achievement. The award recognises Musk's role in advancing space technology through SpaceX, including reusable rockets and commercial spaceflight. The move is drawing attention given Musk's political ties to Trump and his influence in the space industry.
