For example, in the case of the industry group, this included CEOs and Presidents of corporations that are members of the Aerospace Industries Association, Commercial Spaceflight Federation, and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In the case of space scientists, the sampling frame included members of the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine, and National Academy of Engineering, with an interest in space, as well as officers and Board Directors of professional associations, such as the American Astronautical Society and American Astronomical Society.

Nevertheless, the sample from each frame was a probability sample and we believe this methodology provides a broader and more diverse perspective on stakeholder views than a nonprobability sample would. SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE The objective of the stakeholder survey was to provide input to the committee on stakeholder views of human spaceflight, and specifically: • The rationales traditionally provided for human spaceflight and any new or emerging rationales • The importance of human spaceflight in the context of tradeoffs and alternatives • The consequences of discontinuing NASA's human spaceflight program • The characteristics and goals of a worthwhile and feasible program for the near future (e.g., next two decades)
