On July 20, 1989, the 20th anniversary of the Apollo Moon landing, President George Bush shared his Administration's bold vision for America's space program. He called for a completion of Space Station Freedom followed by human expeditions to the Moon and Mars. He talked about a permanent journey into space as a part of not only the destiny of America, but of all humankind. While Bush did not call for an "Apollo" type of crash effort, he did provide a highly visible and eloquent articulation of America's future in space. Thus began the short-lived effort that came to be known as the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI). And as we shall see, eloquence alone was not enough to secure America's future in space.
