"The partisanship surrounding space exploration and the retrenching……" — Neil deGrasse Tyson
"The partisanship surrounding space exploration and the retrenching of U.S. space policy are part of a more general trend: the decline of science in the United States. As its interest in science wanes, the country loses ground to the rest of the industrialized world in every measure of technological proficiency."
