NEW ORLEANS (AP) — NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine is expressing full support for President Donald Trump's proposed military "space force," but says it will have a role separate from NASA.

Bridenstine said Monday in New Orleans that NASA's role involves science, space exploration and technology development. He said the agency should remain independent from national security and defense issues.
