WEEKLY ADDRESS: Ensuring America Leads the World Into the Next Frontier

Source: White House

In this week’s address, President Obama highlighted the White House Frontiers Conference, where many of America’s leading innovators came together to discuss how we can empower people through science, technology, and innovation to lead our communities, our country, and our world in the future.

The President said the advances we’ve made as a nation demonstrate how investing in science and technology can help develop new jobs and industries, and new discoveries that improve lives – and that innovation is in our nation’s DNA. And that’s why the President made the largest single investment in basic research in history; modernized the government’s approach to innovation for the 21st Century; and spurred a clean energy revolution, among many other accomplishments in science and technology.

That’s what the President’s leadership has been about – ensuring America is the nation that leads the world into the next frontier.

Listened this morning and glad he reminded folks about our post-Sputnik progress... although I know there are a couple generations now that probably scratch their heads at the term "moon shot".
