I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers.. I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors for as a wise man once said: An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.

Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention and the first wave of nuclear power. And this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be part of it-we mean to lead it.
