The New NASA
The recent investigation into the tragedy of the Space Shuttle Columbia has called for a total revamping of the national space program. As FIRSTers, many of us will become part of that new, evolved NASA. My question is this, based on what you have observed as on outsider (or an insider for those around here who have worked in NASA), where do you see our nation's space program heading in, both in the near future (next few years) and the in the longer term (next decade or so)? Do you foresee continued development of the ISS, new space vehicles, or further exploration of Mars and our other neighboring celestial bodies (other planets, our moon, their moons)? What are your thoughts?
