On January 14, 2004, President George W. Bush set a bold Vision for Space Exploration that instructed NASA to return the space shuttle to safe flight, complete the International Space Station, return to the moon and continue on to Mars.
The study commissioned by Administrator Michael Griffin is the blueprint from which NASA will build the nation's future spacecraft and launch vehicles to meet the goals and objectives outlined by the President.
