Letter to President Obama on FY12 NASA funding
Colorado’s aerospace economy is in the top three in the nation, providing good-paying jobs for thousands of Coloradans. Colorado companies are building the successor to the space shuttle, literally changing the way we access space, pushing the limits of our understanding of the universe and inspiring future generations in the process. On January 27, 2011, I urged President Obama to submit a budget request to Congress for Fiscal Year 2012 that includes funding for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) consistent with the 2010 NASA Authorization Act. Those funding levels would represent a balanced portfolio supporting all of NASA’s primary objectives, including space exploration, aeronautics and earth and space science, which impact many Colorado companies, laboratories and institutions of higher education.
