What happens to US space programs when a new President enters office?

The same thing that always happens to US space programs when a new
President enters office.

Maybe this time SLS will get recognized as the
jobs-but-never-actually-space program it's always been (what, you think the
program's executives intend to ever launch if they can avoid it, with their
chain of broken promises about when this will happen and how much it will
cost?) and get defunded.  Or maybe not.

Maybe there will be more focus on getting actual space-based industry
started up.  Or maybe not.

But I can guarantee NASA will still be there after November.  (And after
January, when the new Presidential term actually begins.)
