NASA Administrator Mike Griffin sounded a warning Jan. 22 that the United States risks losing its leadership position in the world if it cedes its dwindling advantage in space exploration to other nations. "I consider it to be impossible that other nations will be leading in space and the U.S. still regarded as having primacy in the world," Griffin said following his prepared remarks at the Space Transportation Association breakfast in Washington.
