In an interview with Jim Oberg for IEEE Spectrum, Wes Huntress praised President Obama’s new plan for human spaceflight. The Constellation program, he said, was “neither inspirational nor sufficiently challenging for a space program as storied as America’s” since it was focused on doing what we already did 40 years ago. As for future human exploration of the Moon, he added: “Others may go there and follow in our footsteps of long ago. Best of luck to them.”
