For the past several years, the priorities of NASA have been
governed by the Vision for Space Exploration. The Vision was
announced by President Bush in January 2004 and endorsed by
Congress in the 2005 and 2008 NASA authorisation acts. It directed
NASA to focus its efforts on returning humans to the Moon by 2020
and some day sending them to Mars and "worlds beyond." The
resulting efforts are now approaching major milestones, such as the
end of the space shuttle program, design review decisions for the
new spacecraft intended to replace the shuttle, and decisions about
whether to extend the operation of the International Space Station.
At the same time, concerns have grown about whether NASA can
accomplish the planned program of human exploration of space
without significant growth in its budget. This book explores the
current U.S. space policy and its ramifications.
