The Houston Chronicle’s Joe Holley managed to grab a few moments of Democratic Gubernatorial nominee Bill White’s time this week to ask a few questions about NASA late last week.
Via the Chronicle‘s Texas Politics blog are White’s comments:
“I think it was a mistake to discontinue the program until the new vehicle for manned space exploration was established, to avoid a gap,” he said Friday.
“It takes strong advocacy from the governor and a united congressional delegation for both NASA and its Texas-based facilities,” he said.
“It’s not a parochial issue,” he said. “I definitely believe we under-invest in cutting-edge research. The other huge benefit of NASA is the inspiration of young Americans who we want to interest in math, science and engineering.”
