Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The President's 2012 budget request boosts funding for our partnership with the commercial space industry and prioritizes our efforts to ensure that American astronauts and the cargo they need are transported by American companies rather than continuing to outsource this work to foreign governments. This new approach in getting our crews and cargo into orbit will create good jobs and expand opportunities for our American economy. If we are to win the future and out build our competitors, it's essential that we make this program a success." Source: NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, announcing a new contract with the Russian Space Agency for transportation of U.S. astronauts to ISS.
