“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably will not themselves be realized.” – attributed to Daniel Burnham.

NASA was formed with the purpose of maintaining American leadership in aeronautics and in spaceflight. This goal has been achieved through steady development of new technologies and amazing feats of ingenuity and courage, such as the landings on the Moon, the Grand Tour of the Voyager probes to all of the solar system’s gas giant planets, the treks of Spirit and Opportunity across the hills and valleys of Mars, and the building of the International Space Station. Through all these years, NASA has been guided by people with visions of what NASA ought to be doing to fulfill its purpose and plans of action which would bring about the realization of those visions. This webpage lists resources on vision-forming and strategic planning at the NASA Headquarters Library. You may also find useful resources in our webpages on Science Policy and Organizational Change.
