In a speech to the National Space Symposium, NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin pledged to make the space program relevant to all Americans. He said he wanted everything smaller, faster, cheaper, and more varied. And he wanted to take more risks.
Commenting about the Space Station project, Goldin said that he wanted one that would cost half as much to develop and half as much to operate but would do more. He also urged the United States to enter into an international partnership with the Russians to put Space Station Freedom into orbit. (Gazette Telegraph, Apr 16/93; Denver Post, Apr 17/93)
A fighter plane shaped like an arrowhead flew into NASA's Langley Research Center this week. The plane, a heavily modified version of the Air Force F-16 fighter, has a wing that is narrow near the front of the plane and flares out near the tail. The plane was part of a program to build an efficient supersonic jetliner. (Daily Press, Apr 16/93)
