Help Shape The Candidates' Space Policies
Space exploration has entered the national debate this election cycle more than in any presidential campaign in recent memory. All the remaining candidates have made statements concerning the space program and two of them have released formal space policies. However, not all of these statements have been clear as to what their plans would be after the Space Shuttle has been replaced.
Senator
Obama's Space Policy
Senator Clinton's Space Policy
Recent statements from Obama and Clinton campaigns
Senator McCain's Space Policy
Governor Huckabee's statement about the need for space exploration at a debate last year.
Have your say!
While there is hope in these various statements, there is obviously a lot more work for the space advocacy community to do. The Mars Society calls on ALL of the candidates for the Presidency of the United to make strong statements in support an acceleration of NASA's Moon-Mars goals - not a slow down. Space exploration should not be a partisan issue. We hope that all of the candidates realize the importance of the space program to our nation as well as all of humanity. A strong space program can be one of the greatest assets to science and engineering education and will help guarantee our technological leadership in the 21st century.
We are asking all members of The Mars Society, and the space advocacy community as a whole, to contact the presidential candidates and tell them why human exploration of Mars is of vital importance to the United States of America and worth the investment. Recent statements from the candidates have confirmed that the space advocacy community (particularly The Mars Society) has been a very noticeable voice in this campaign. We need to ensure that our voice continues to be heard.
The Mars Society will help you in this process.
