The U.S. space program has been a source of national pride and inspiration for decades. From the iconic high of the first lunar landing to the heartbreak of the Challenger disaster, America’s space missions have captured the imaginations of generations and created technological advances that have had an impact far beyond space flight.

He talks about NASA’s remarkable past, America’s vision for the future of space exploration, and our close cooperation with the Canadian Space Agency in this edition of Wilson Center NOW.
