National Space Policy Introduction Fifty years after the creation of NASA, our goal is no longer just a destination to reach. Our goal is the capacity of people to work and learn and operate and live safely beyond the Earth for extended periods of time, ultimately in ways that are more sustainable and even indefinite. Principle #2 A robust and competitive commercial space sector is vital to continued progress in space. The United States is committed to encouraging and facilitating the growth of the U.S. commercial space sector that supports U.S. needs, is globally competitive, and advances U.S. leadership in the generation of new markets and innovation-driven entrepreneurship. 15 15
