NASA administrator Charles Bolden’s comments earlier this week that greater international cooperation would be a priority for NASA in the near future has attracted some debate. To learn more about potential advantages of obstacles to such cooperation, Scott Pace of GWU’s Space Policy Institute is speaking on “International Opportunities and Challenges for U.S. Space Policy” at the Applied Physics Lab weekly Colloquium at 2 pm today.
