Coalition for Space Exploration Official Statement Regarding Presidential Candidates’ Backing of U.S. Space Exploration Program

“The Coalition for Space Exploration is pleased that two of the leading presidential candidates recognize the importance of America’s space program as a national imperative. We look forward to the continuing development of a robust space policy in the next administration. Our country’s preeminence in space is at a critical juncture. We need strong leadership and a sustained commitment to ensure NASA has the necessary funding and resources for its Constellation Program and other exploration initiatives to remain a leader in space, science and technology. These are key factors that benefit every American, strengthen our nation’s economy and maintain our national security.”
