President Obama recently announced plans to scrap NASA’s Constellation moon-landing project and to redirect funding toward programs that will lay the groundwork for a 2030 Mars expedition. This month JOM asks, what is the impact of the new priorities for NASA?
• The United States will lose its status as a worldwide leader of human spaceflight
• Scientific advancement will be stalled as R&D funding is redirected
• Commercial space launch services will be stimulated to fill the void left by NASA’s new priorities
• The U.S. space program will ultimately be better positioned for deep space exploration
The poll is conducted via the JOM Reader Zone of the TMS Discussion Board. |
