In response to a growing Indian Partnership with the U.S. on Earth and in space, Bill Nelson on behalf of the top U.S Administrators and NASA, said they are pleased to grow their partnership with India.
Further, He also stated, As the U.S. ventures farther out into the cosmos than ever before. An important question next to how they go to our destination is what they do when they reach their destinations. They want to go in a peaceful way. They want to go in a transparent way. In times of trouble, they want to support each other.
He added that “We are very grateful for India’s leadership in signing the Artemis Accords and look forward to all that we will accomplish together.”- NASA
