Remarks at the funeral of NASA’s Get Away Special Program – An open letter to Dr. Michael Griffin

“But what is the educational community supposed to do…just forget about the space program? Are only the physical and intellectual elite to have access to space, once again? … Does NASA have a plan to provide an alternative avenue for students to do their own enthusiastic, creative and unfettered experiments with their own space hardware, as they have done for the past twenty years in the SSIP, GAS and Hitchhiker programs?”
