Space Policy Edition #6: Election 2016! Where Do Clinton and Trump Stand on Space?

Just in time for election day in the USA, we take stock of the major candidates' space policies (as far as they go), comparing statements and policy op-eds put out by both campaigns. We also look at the broader implications and challenges of the coming Presidential transition for NASA.
