Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Some have said that NASA is adrift. If you look at everything I talked about today – at the spacecraft of the future behind me and the concrete plans in development for human and robotic exploration in cis-lunar space and beyond - if you visit our various NASA and commercial manufacturing facilities where work is ongoing for our future ... as I do regularly ... I think you’ll come to a different conclusion. That the idea we’re adrift is an empty hook trying to catch yesterday’s fish. I couldn’t be more excited about our future! We’re making steady progress and continuing to reach for new heights."
