Förlagets beskrivning
This electronic book on CD-ROM provides the final report of the President's Commission on Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy, issued in June 2004. In addition to the report itself in high resolution PDF format, we provide extensive background material: the full set of hearing minutes, transcripts, and slide presentations from the five public field hearings (February 11, 2004, National Transportation Safety Board, Washington, D.C.; March 3-4, 2004, United States Air Force Museum, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio; March 24-25, 2004, Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Georgia; April 15-17, 2004, Galileo Academy of Science and Technology, San Francisco, California; May 3-4, 2004, Asia Society, New York City.)
We also have four video files with almost three hours of material:
* the Bush announcement and NASA introduction;
* testimony at the February hearing by General Tom Stafford (Ret.), Report on America at the Threshold;
* testimony at the March hearing by Buzz Aldrin; and
* the "rollout" video presentation of the report narrated by Neil Armstrong followed by the press conference.
From the Executive Summary: "On January 14, 2004, President George W. Bush announced a new vision for America's civil space program that calls for human and robotic missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. This vision set forth goals of: returning the Space Shuttle safely to flight; completing the International Space Station (ISS); phasing out the Space Shuttle when the ISS is complete (about 2010); sending a robotic orbiter and lander to the Moon; sending a human expedition to the Moon as early as 2015, but no later than 2020; conducting robotic missions to Mars in preparation for a future human expedition; and conducting robotic exploration across the solar system. Such a focus for the American space program has not existed since the Apollo era and establishes a much-needed direction and purpose for our national space efforts. While discovery is the goal of space exploration, the Commission is certain that the benefits here on Earth will make the journey at least as important as the destination. The long-term, ambitious space agenda advanced by the President for robotic and human exploration will significantly help the United States protect its technological leadership, economic vitality, and security. This ambitious path of exploration and the achievements made along the way will inspire the nation's youth, yield scientific breakthroughs, create high technology jobs, improve our industrial competitiveness, demonstrate America's leadership, and improve prosperity and the quality of life for all Americans."
