A Short Chat With Someone Offworld
“If there is one thing I’d say [to policymakers] it is that we need to focus our efforts. I’d appeal to Congress to focus on the long term. They need to look at the horizon – look out 10 years and see where they want the nation to be. We need a coherent space policy that will take us 10 to 15 years out – a decadal plan – and then make it a law so that we have to follow it so that Congress and future administrations are obliged to follow the policy that we, as a nation, have set forth.”
