"LEAGUE CITY, Texas - NASA Administrator Michael Griffin envisions space as [] a place where commercial flights take astronauts and supplies to the international space station and companies build fueling stations in orbit."

"Once the nation's shuttle fleet is retired in 2010, Griffin said he would like to see commercial industry take over crew rotations and supply missions."

"Courtney Stadd, a former NASA chief of staff and White House liaison, said the agency has to compete for funding with the war, hurricane relief and a budget deficit."
