“What most people don't know is that our efforts to open the space frontier are largely based on our quest to understand our own planet,” NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin said on January 10 at the American Meteorological Society meeting in Long Beach, California. Goldin said the agency's commitment to studying Earth's climate will help weather forecasters make better predictions.
