Space News notes in its print edition this week that Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), who placed a hold on HR 3752 in the Senate, plans to lift that hold by July 23 regardless of whether a compromise is reached on the language in the bill. The article—which mostly provides background about the bill’s odyssey since […] Tonight’s episode of the radio show The Space Show is scheduled to feature Keith Cowing and Frank Sietzen, authors of New Moon Rising, the behind-the-scenes account of the formation of the Vision for Space Exploration. The book itself is being published this month, with a rollout event at the Return to the Moon conference in […] I received the following press release yesterday about an event on Capitol Hill next week on a fairly generic topic: American leadership in space. It has a rather eclectic mix of speakers, including Pete Worden; the press release also uses phrases like “Humanistic Dialog” that, at the very least, start raising eyebrows. I probably won’t […] In this week’s issue of The Space Review, Dwayne Day has an interesting article comparing the rollout of the Space Exploration Initiative 15 years ago this month with the rollout of the Vision for Space Exploration six months ago. The brief summary of the article is that while NASA and the Bush Administration learned some […] The Aerospace Industries Association issued a press release several days ago that it has sent out letters to the two major Presidential candidates, President Bush and Senator Kerry, asking them to support full funding of NASA.

The notable changes are the removal of Sens. Brownback and Nelson from the program and the addition of Rep. Boehlert in their place. Buzz Aldrin has also been added to the program to provide closing remarks. Even with a […] Clark Lindsey reports at HobbySpace RLV News today that for HR3752 to be enacted this year, the Senate needs to pass it by July 20; after that the legislative calendar becomes too crowded with other issues to devote any time to it. I have not heard the July 20 deadline before, but it makes some […] In his speech, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay mentioned that the House Appropriations Committee plans to mark up the NASA budget bill before it leaves for August recess in a couple weeks. His comments suggested that the committee might not give NASA the budget increase that the Bush Administration requested: “I encourage you to […] In comments at a Space Transportation Association breakfast on Thursday, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said it was unlikely that Congress would pass an authorization bill for NASA this year. “To be honest with you, we’re running out of time,” he said.
