President Obama’s Space Plan: New Fact Sheets Outline Strategy
On Thursday, April 15, at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the President will outline a bold strategy for human spaceflight.
That strategy increases the NASA budget by $6 billion over the next five years.
President Obama’s plan represents, what the White House calls, an ambitious effort to foster the development of path-breaking technologies; increase the number, scope, and pace of manned and unmanned space missions; make human spaceflight safer and more efficient; and help create thousands of jobs.
