"It has always been NASA's business to inspire and manage innovation. Partnering with academia and industry, we will revolutionize the future, here, today. Our goal is to forge lasting alliances to do cutting-edge research and develop unique educational outreach tools and venues for teachers, students and the general public. What better place to bring these partners together than at the NASA Research Park, nestled in the birthplace of 'America's high-tech revolution' - Silicon Valley."

"Further advances in technology will come to fruition in the NASA Research Park in support of our nation's long-term space exploration objectives. Later, we will transfer those technologies for use in commercial ventures that will have an unlimited potential to provide a range of benefits here on Earth. While making these technology leaps, young minds will be educated and trained at the NASA Research Park to become the next generation of scientists and engineers."
