The
Vision for Space Exploration
In January
2004, President George W. Bush outlined an ambitious plan for NASA's
future exploration of the solar system. The plan includes human
missions to the moon and Mars in search of the answers to many basic
questions.
From the Vision
for Space Exploration:
"Direct
human experience in space has fundamentally altered our perspective
of humanity and our place in the universe. Humans have the ability
to respond to the unexpected developments inherent in space travel
and possess unique skills that enhance discoveries. Just as Mercury,
Gemini, and Apollo challenged a generation of Americans, a renewed
U.S. space exploration program with a significant human component
can inspire us -- and our youth -- to greater achievements on Earth
and in space."
