ADMINISTRATOR GOLDINÕS STATEMENT ON
NASAÕS FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Forty years ago, in 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration was created with the boldest and most noble of
missions: to pioneer the future. We were told to explore new
frontiers and enhance life here on Earth. We were asked to
instruct; we were expected to inspire. Forty years later, thanks
to an American public with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge
and a relentless sense of adventure, NASA has delivered.
Think about this: Forty years ago, jet passenger service was
a novelty. Global communications meant a telephone line laid
across the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. When NASA was first
getting started, the only way to track hurricanes was to fly
planes directly over and into the storms. Our universe -- even
the cosmic neighborhood just above our atmosphere -- was a
mystery. In 1958, sending humans to the moon was pure science
fiction.
But we dared to dream. We imagined what could be possible.
And then along with our partners in industry and academia, we went
to work.
In 1998, hundreds of millions of people ride American jets
each year and new designs for flight go higher, faster and farther
than ever before. Global space communications have helped create
a global community. Weather satellites can detect the early
evolution of an El Ni–o condition months in advance. There are
still many mysteries to be solved, but Voyager, Galileo, the
Hubble Space Telescope and other planetary and astronomy missions
have circled neighboring planets, given us our first direct
evidence that black holes exist, and begun to peer back at the
very beginning of our universe. A space program that is forty
years old has sent astronauts to the moon, robots to Mars,
spacecraft to the furthest reaches of our solar system, and soon
will help build the International Space Station. And for every
step we take out there, we have contributed to a better quality of
life right here. That is true whether it be the Òspin-offÓ
technology that helps us detect breast cancer earlier, or the
child who looks up and knows that no longer is the sky the limit;
it is the stars and beyond.
NASA has had a great forty years, but what the American
people can be most proud of is this: when it comes to pioneering
the future, we are just getting started. What will always define
this aeronautics and space program -- and this country -- is our
firm belief that there will forever be something to invent,
somewhere to discover, someplace to visit.
Rest assured, NASA will do its best in the next forty years
to find out just what and where that will be.
