Alan Stern on Reconnecting NASA
Imagine reconnecting NASA, Alan Stern, The Space Review
“The space program of the United States leads the world. It has produced more historic firsts, delivered more discoveries, and possesses more capability than any of our competitors.
Yet, our space program does not enjoy the strong support it once did. A part of the reason for this is that the current program is too disconnected from everyday life and American society. After all, when was the last time you heard that the space program developed something new that directly touched your life and made a tangible difference to you?
But it need not be this way.”
