Sen. Nelson Believes President Will Make Bold Decision on Human Space Flight
Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) closed his hearing on the Augustine committee report today on an optimistic note. While acknowledging how difficult it will be to find funds for human space flight in these budget deficit laden times, he said:
“I think the President really has a major decision here. There’s nothing like a President making a bold decision to focus the nation on where we ought to be going technologically. … I believe the President is a visionary and I believe that the President is going to make a bold stroke not unlike President Kennedy. He set this nation on a course that was extraordinary and it is my belief that President Obama will do that.”
A webcast of the hearing is available on the committee’s website. SpacePolicyOnline.com will post a summary of the hearing soon.
