President Obama said he scrapped the plan to go back to the moon because he saw it as just recapitulating 60s technology development. He said he wanted "game-changing" new technologies instead.

I am unclear if President Trump's order calls for bringing back the program Obama cancelled or if it's more of a general statement of direction.
