The Vice President of the United States visited the U.S. Space & Rocket Center today to chair the fifth meeting of the revived National Space Council

The visit was not without some controversy in space circles as the VP called on NASA to consider alternatives to its current course: “If our current contractors can’t meet this objective, then we’ll find ones that will.”

Today was not the first visit to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center by a sitting Vice President.  Dan Quayle and George H.W. Bush both made visits to Space Camp during their tenures as Vice Presidents.
