- Whoopi Goldberg wants to send Donald Trump to space and leave him there.

- The *View* moderator proposed rocketing Trump to the moon on an Artemis mission.

- "You can drive around on the moon on the rover," Goldberg said.

Whoopi Goldberg, who previously confirmed on *The View* that space aliens are among us on Earth, has proposed sending President Donald Trump into orbit and leaving him there.

During Thursday's discussion about NASA's Artemis II crew's recent, safe return to our planet, the EGOT-winning *Ghost* and *Sister Act* star said she wants Trump to be flung into the cosmos next.

"You could go up there if they left you up there," Goldberg said, after the talk show played a clip from a recent address in which Trump said he'd "have no trouble making it" into space, and asked officials if "a president is allowed to go up on one of these missions" to space.

After stressing that she wanted Trump to remain on the moon, Goldberg continued, "You can drive around on the moon on the rover, but I don't think you would really qualify because you need a master's degree in STEM fields. You don't have any master's degree."

"You have to have skills in leadership, teamwork, and communications," Goldberg added, balking at the thought of Trump realistically being able to travel to the moon.

Joy Behar added, "Take [JD] Vance and that Mike Johnson with you, I hear that Jupiter is lovely this time of year. Maybe Jupiter, because the moon is not that far. Jupiter is further away!"

While the conversation continued, Behar added another thought: "Don't they have to wear a helmet?" she asked. "That's going to mess up his hair."

When reached for comment, a White House spokesperson tells ** via email, "Whoopi Goldberg and 'Joyless' Behar are a pair of useful idiots that have no talent," Davis Ingle writes. "I lose braincells [*sic*] every single time I have the displeasure of hearing them speak.”

Thursday's moment recalled a March 2025 incident that saw Behar say she wished Trump "bought a rocket from Elon" Musk, six days after a SpaceX explosion over parts of southern Florida and the Bahamas.

"Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it," Goldberg advised Behar at the time, looking off camera as she repeated the warning, while fellow cohost and legal expert Sunny Hostin jumped in, telling Behar, "No, no," also looking off camera.

If he makes it to space, Trump wouldn't be the first celebrity to do so. In 2025, Gayle King, Katy Perry, and more led an all-female space launch that made headlines around the world. When the craft returned, Perry was seen kissing the ground after the monumental endeavor.
