  President Obama Visits Kennedy Space Center, Unveils Vision For NASA's Future  Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 

President Obama announces his vision for NASA and the future of space exploration during a speech at KSC. U.S. President Barack Obama dipped into the proverbial lion's den today, flying to Kennedy Space Center to kickoff a day-long space conference and promote his controversial vision for NASA and proposed national space policy. Addressing a mostly-friendly audience of invited guests and dozens of news media, the President carefully and passionately defended his decision to redirect NASA's mission - a plan that includes cancelling the Constellation program and the thousands of jobs dependent upon it.
