Vision for Space ExplorationVision for Space ExplorationVision for Space Exploration
On January 14, 2004, President Bush offered a new vision for U.S. space exploration
“ . . . journey, not a destination.”
Presidential Commission appointedGoals and Objectives outlinesOrganizational realignment undertaken
“This cause of exploration and discovery is not an option we choose; it is a desire written in the human heart.”
President George. W. Bush

Moon, Mars, and BeyondMoon, Mars, and BeyondMoon, Mars, and Beyond
Moon Mars
Search for evidence of life, to understand the history of the solar system, and to prepare for
future human exploration
Robotic missions to the Moon starting in 2008Human expeditions as early as 2015
Solar System Crew Exploration Vehicle
Robotic exploration and advanced telescope searches for habitable environments
Crew transportation beyond low Earth orbitto support mission no later than 2014
