History[edit]

It doesn't seem like an article with this title (U.S. National Space Policy) can be anywhere near complete if it only covers current policy. Said another way, this article desperately needs a history section! (Sdsds - Talk) 06:28, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copying[edit]

This is copied verbatim from the gov doc of the same name 173.22.123.35 (talk) 17:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

I have moved this article from U.S. National Space Policy to Space policy of the United States, as that is a more standard title. I'd like to expand it to talk about US space policy in general, rather than the 2006 Bush space policy which it currently focuses on exclusively. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 04:16, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed my mind—I'd like to keep this article to be about the Bush administration's space policy, and make a new article for general/historical United States space policy. I will move this article to Space policy of the George W. Bush administration. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 02:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Washington Post refs[edit]

This article cites The Washington Post eleven times, but does not have any information about what article or articles are being referred to... Does anyone have any idea what the referenced articles are? Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 03:16, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moved article[edit]

I moved the article to a name that more accurately reflects the policy formation process in the US (i.e. does not assert that the president sets the policy), as well as one that closely matches the main article format wise. Vietminh (talk) 17:47, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded at Talk:Space policy of the Barack Obama administration. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 18:08, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"To understand and protect the home planet" Controversy[edit]

In February 2006, the phrase "to understand and protect the home planet" was quietly removed from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s official mission statement. ^[1] This has always been one of the most noted, visible, and lasting changes that American's note of Bush's administration. Within America, the military/international "controversy" never was noted, didn't have an impression- the USA changing it's exploration agency's mission statement away from exploring the earth was noted, clear, and indicative of the lack of environmental concern and regard for science of the administration at the time. I would like to see this controversy not just noted on the page, but put up as the chief controversy, as the primary change in mission statement, which policy then stems from. --Rektide (talk) 20:49, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
