Space Exploration Initiative

The Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) was a NASA-led program announced by President George H. W. Bush in 1989, aimed at returning humans to the Moon and eventually sending astronauts to Mars. Its goal was to develop new technology, foster scientific discovery, and expand human presence beyond Earth. Although it faced budget constraints and shifting priorities, SEI laid groundwork for future space exploration efforts. Essentially, it was a bold plan to explore deeper into space, building on past achievements and inspiring innovation, with the long-term vision of making space a frontier for human adventure and scientific advancement.
