At the same time, the Administration announced the Vision for Space Exploration, and in June 2004, it issued a report that articulated a balanced space program for human and robotic exploration and science. Subsequent NRC reports, however, have noted that NASA has not been given the resources to carry out this broad-based program. This challenge, along with others faced by the U.S. civil space program, stimulated the NRC to form an ad hoc committee to organize a second workshop, held in November 2007, to address the space program's future directions. The workshop's goal was to air a range of views and perspectives so as to inform discussions of these questions by policymakers and the public. This book presents a summary of the workshop.Astronautics and stateUnited StatesCongressesPrivate flyingGovernment policyUnited StatesCongressesOuter spaceCivilian useGovernment policyUnited StatesCongressesAstronautics and statePrivate flyingGovernment policyMacauley Molly K1097791Alexander Joseph K878317National Research Council (U.S.).Space Studies Board.National Research Council (U.S.).Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959846803321United States civil space policy4471365UNINA
