Coalition for Space Exploration Supports President Obama`s Nomination of Bolden and Garver to Head NASA

Sat May 23, 2009 2:34pm EDT
HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
"The Coalition for Space Exploration is pleased that President Obama has named
retired Gen. Charles Bolden as NASA administrator and Lori Garver as deputy
administrator. Bolden is a strong and experienced leader who will balance the
priorities of the agency. 

"America`s space program is at a critical crossroad. NASA needs a clearly
defined plan and unwavering support from the president and Congress to achieve
our nation`s space exploration objectives. We look forward to working with the
new NASA administrator and his leadership team as we address the rapidly
approaching human spaceflight gap following retirement of the Space Shuttle, the
next generation Constellation program and full utilization of the International
Space Station." 

- Dean Acosta, Chairman-Public Affairs Team
