U.S. Vision for Space Exploration; Hearing before the Committee on Science House of Representatives One Hundred Eighth Congress Second Session February 12 2004 Serial No. 108-42

200476543Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2004. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. iv 142 6 pages. Illustrations. The Vision for Space Exploration VSE was a plan for space exploration announced on January 14 2004 by President George W. Bush. It was conceived as a response to the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster the state of human spaceflight at NASA and as a way to regain public enthusiasm for space exploration. The President's plan can be seen as having three distinct but related aspects. The first aspect concerns current human space flight programs. The President proposes to complete construction of the International Space Station ISS by the end of the decade and to retire the Space Shuttle at that point. ISS research is to be reconfigured to focus on questions related to the impact on human health of spending long periods in space. Under the proposal the U.S. participation in ISS is slated to end around 2016 although the Administration has said that that date may shift. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA has also decided to cancel the Shuttle mission that was needed to keep the Hubble Space Telescope in operation past 2007. Ending the Shuttle and Station programs is necessary to free up funds for other aspects of the proposal and to avoid Shuttle recertification in 2010 an expensive process called for by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board. The second aspect of the plan concerns new medium-term goals for human space flight. The central goal is to return to the Moon between 2015 and 2020. To do this NASA will develop a new Crew Exploration Vehicle CEV which will carry humans by 2014. The CEV may also be used to service the Space Station. The third aspect of the plan concerns long-range goals for the years past 2020. The entire plan is geared toward preparing for this period but what will happen during these years is perhaps necessarily left entirely open-ended. The ultimate goals are to send humans to Mars and to increase the commercial exploitation of space. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
