Restoring NASA’s original mission
As a new administration steps in, America’s space program stands at a crossroads. We have an opportunity to refocus NASA on its founding mission: advancing technological leadership and driving economic growth through space exploration. Programs like NASA’s Technology Transfer and Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) showcase the agency’s power to transform innovations into economic benefits and foster a thriving commercial space industry. But to fully realize this potential, NASA needs leaders with hands-on expertise in rapidly evolving fields, capable of steering the agency toward transformative, forward-looking projects.
