NASA’s goals for the next decade require a technically skilled workforce, cutting-edge infrastructure, and transformational technology development. A new National Academies report assesses NASA's critical needs in these areas and recommends actions to ensure NASA can achieve its long-term strategic goals. “NASA has overcome incredible, unique challenges over its 66 year history, becoming a fount of innovation and a source of national pride, but its biggest problem now is more mundane and all too common ― the tendency to focus on near-term accomplishments at the expense of long-term viability,” said Norman Augustine, chair of the committee that wrote the report.
