Courtney Stadd Quotations

NASA cannot succeed alone in pursuing the exploration vision. It's a breathtakingly full dance card.

It is burdened with old and aging infrastructure, frayed at the edges, costly, some times unreliable, ... ...any misstep in human spaceflight could spell a very long hiatus in human driven exploration spaceflight in the U.S. So this underscores the need to realize that NASA cannot succeed alone in pursuing the exploration vision.

Any misstep in human spaceflight could spell a very long hiatus in human-driven exploration in the US.

These are fault lines that have been in the NASA program for decades and it's one of the big challenges for Griffin and his team to ensure we have appropriate robustness in the science and aeronautics programs while at same time meeting very significant program and budget challenges for shuttle, station and the CEV programs.
