Die NASA spielt in der Raumfahrt eine herausragende und damit führende Rolle. Keine andere Raumfahrtagentur und Wissenschaftsorganisation steht sowohl innerhalb der Wissenschaft als auch in der Öffentlichkeit so für Erfolg und Exzellenz.
Nach einer Reihe sehr erfolgreicher Missionen stehen im Rahmen einer sich ändernden Weltpolitik (die Rolle Russlands verändert sich und die Kooperation mit China bleibt schwierig) und wirtschaftlicher Veränderungen (zunehmende Privatisierung im Raumfahrtbetrieb) alle Agenturen - und damit auch die NASA vor neuen Herausforderungen.
