NASA Changes Mission Statement: Earth is Out
The New York Times reports that NASA changed its mission statement back in February to remove this clause: “To understand and protect our home planet.” It now reads: “to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.” Suggestions have been made that it was changed to reflect the current administration’s interest in manned space flight and its interest in moving away from the global warming issue.
