President Barack Obama said Thursday he was “100 percent committed” to NASA’s mission as he sought to set a new course for the future of US space travel.
The US president was making a whirlwind trip to the heart of the US space industry to unveil a new plan for the future of the US space agency, after he was hit with stinging criticism for dropping the costly Constellation project.
“As president, I believe that space exploration is not a luxury, it’s not an afterthought in America’s quest for a brighter future. It is an essential part of that quest,” he said at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
“I am 100 percent committed to the mission of NASA and its future.”
