NASA is planning on sending the first American woman and the next American man to the moon by 2024, thanks to an additional increase to the agency's budget by President Trump. Trump announced Monday that he is adding $1.6 billion to NASA's budget "so that we can return to Space in a BIG WAY!" "Under my Administration, we are restoring @NASA to greatness and we are going back to the Moon, then Mars," he tweeted. The budget increase is on top of the initial $21 billion budget request from NASA to accelerate the return to the lunar surface. "This investment is a down payment on NASA's efforts and will allow us to move forward in design, development and exploration," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.

Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight, or  solar energy , can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses. The sun's heat also drives the  winds, whose energy,  is captured with wind turbines. Then, the winds and the sun's heat cause water to evaporate. When this water vapor turns into rain or snow and flows downhill into rivers or streams, its energy can be captured using  hydroelectric power . Along with the rain and snow, sunlight causes plants to grow. The organic matter that makes up those plants is known as biomass. Biomass can be used to produce electricity, transportation fuels, or chemicals. The use of biomass for any of these purposes is called  bioenergy . Hydrogen  also can be found in many organic compounds, as well as water. It's the most abundant element on the Earth. But it d
