Joint Statement by Space Organizations on the FY 2011 NASA Budget
“We the undersigned, a diverse group of organizations with a vital interest in our Nation’s space program, make the following statements:
– We strongly support the top line FY2011 NASA budget.
– We believe an important goal of the NASA budget is to accelerate the development of the intellectual capital of the United States by investing in a high-cadence exciting program.
– We are excited by the increases in science, aeronautics and technology initiatives.
– We believe both human exploration and research are important: destination, milestones, engagement and story matter.
– We believe this is an opportunity for NASA to craft the exploration strategy in partnership with science and applied science that includes the International Space Station, safe and cost-effective access to low earth orbit, robotic precursors, and other missions. Heavy lift launch and in-space servicing enable new realms of exploration and science.
– We believe it is critically important that the American people can and must participate and be engaged in the journey of discovery and exploration.”
