That's what we want to do here at Johnson Space Center. I think what we have always brought to NASA and brought to the country is trying to push the boundaries, trying to go to the next level.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For the first time in history all the major countries in the world are pushing together to reach this goal... building something in space that is really for all humankind.
There's been a lot of discussion about NASA culture and changing that. I think our culture has always been one of trying to do a very difficult job and do it well.
NASA needs to focus on the things that are really important and that we do not know how to do. The agency is a pioneering force, and that is where its competitive advantage lies.
NASA works for the White House. There are many at NASA that wish they were building a modern replacement for the Shuttle. However, they had marching orders to instead work on other things, some of which should have no place in a research organization.
I believe we can do more in making the President's vision for space exploration a reality by awarding cash prizes to encourage greater participation of the private sector in the national space program.

If we drive down the cost of transportation in space, we can do great things.
For NASA, space is still a high priority.
Space travel for everyone is the next frontier in the human experience.
I think that somebody with the resources and innovation and the idea is going to come out of nowhere and come up with a successful space travel program.
