Review of U.S. Human Spaceflight Plans Committee Final Report, Executive Summary
“The nation is facing important decisions on the future of human spaceflight. Will we leave the close proximity of low- Earth orbit, where astronauts have circled since 1972, and explore the solar system, charting a path for the eventual expansion of human civilization into space? If so, how will we ensure that our exploration delivers the greatest benefit to the nation? Can we explore with reasonable assurances of human safety? Can the nation marshal the resources to embark on the mission?”
Poll: Which of the three paths presented by the Review of U.S. Human Spaceflight Plans Committee do you prefer?
