Bolden Says NASA Must Leverage Power and Innovation of American Industry

NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden told the National Association of Investment Companies yesterday that NASA needs to “leverage the power and innovation of American industry and the American entrepreneur.” The full speech is available here.

“By the end of this week, we expect to receive the final report of the Augustine committee and I will join with the President’s science advisor, Dr. John Holdren and other principals from the Executive Office of the President in developing a recommendation for the President to assist him in determining his vision for the future of human space flight and space exploration in America. Whatever the President’s decision, America needs NASA and private industry to work to achieve our national goals in space. This means that NASA must determine efficient and effective ways to leverage the power, and innovation of American industry and the American entrepreneur.”
