It’s time to put your 21st century thinking cap because you’ve been invited to take part in a new study into why the U.S. has a space program.
The new study “Rationale and Goals of the U.S. Civil Space Program” is looking for the public’s view on the following questions:
What’s the future of human, robotic, commercial, and personal spaceflight? Is your life impacted in a meaningful way by the space program? What kind of emphasis should the space program represent in going forward? How can the country’s civil, or non-military, space program address key national issues?
Views – positive or negative – of the general public are welcomed.
This study is sponsored exclusively by The National Academies, and it is not receiving any funds from government agencies or any other external sources. The assessment is a joint effort of the Space Studies Board and Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board.
