In today's competitive world, the United States must depend more
than ever on our scientific vision and our commitment to
technological excellence.  Therefore, after a decade of neglect,
America needs to undertake major new investments in our civilian
space enterprise.

Many leading U.S. scientists support a bold new venture in space and
see a manned space station as an essential first step towards any
such effort.
