Romney's Space Goals

The Romney campaign has released a white paper on space policy.  While short on details, it pledges a President Romney would give NASA clear priorities and goals, though he would not increase the agency's budget, arguing the issue is not the amount of money, but how that money is used.  The paper also says Romney would encourage private business to move into space, and pursue international partnerships for space projects.  National security concerns would also be key in a Romney space policy.

Predictably, the white paper also criticizes President Obama's approach to space, saying American leadership in space is eroding.
