Talking To The White House From Space

Remarks by The President With The Crew of the Space Shuttle and Space Station (Transcript) 24 March 2009
“THE PRESIDENT: Well, obviously we’re really proud about the extraordinary work that our American astronauts are doing. You are representative of the dedication and sense of adventure and discovery that we’re so proud of. But one of the things that’s wonderful about this is that it is an international space station. And I know that we have our Japanese and Russian counterparts on board, as well. We’d love to say hello to them — and hope that this is an example of the kind of spirit of cooperation that we can apply not just in space but here on the ground, as well.”
