I AGREE! We must
stop the U.S. Administration from foisting this disastrous anti-science,
antiexploration agenda on NASA. I want to help the Society fend off these
attacks that are threatening both space science and human and robotic
exploration of other worlds.
PETITION TO PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH
|
Your administration's proposal to cut the budget
for NASA's Space Science and exploration programs will inflict
long-term, possibly irreparable, harm to the future of space
exploration.
Your own Vision for Space Exploration is being distorted.
This budget, if passed, threatens to cancel decades of vital
exploration, the very thing that gains the United States international
respect and admiration. What's more, in allowing NASA to alter
its own mission statement to eliminate the phrase "to
understand and protect the Earth," your administration
has discarded an absolutely essential component of the space
program.
As a supporter of The Planetary Society, the world's
largest and most respected space interest group, I urge you to
take the lead in restoring vitality and innovation to space exploration
and all of NASA's crucial program areas. I urge you to fully
fund space science and exploration at NASA and salvage its proud
history of innovation and exploration in space -- before it's
too late. |
