WASHINGTON — NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine wants the space agency to play a bigger role in national strategy, including requiring countries interested in participating in the Artemis program to accept “norms of behavior” for safe space operations.
Bridenstine, speaking May 5 at a Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) webinar, said that the agency’s achievements in space, which are often overlooked, even within the country, can help demonstrate national power and improve the country’s standing on the global stage.
“NASA is methodically going, step by step, through a number of very stunning achievements that should be inspiring the world,” he said.
