(Some might stretch the point and argue that there's an intersection between 5382's promotion of commercial spaceflight with the potential for a growing role for commercial ventures in NASA, but that would probably be reading too much into too few tea leaves.)

For example, the NASA budget is incorporated into a larger appropriations bill, which in turn has often been rolled into a larger omnibus budget bill. As a result, members of Congress don't have much a voting record one way or another on space issues. If you're really curious about these members' positions on space (if, in fact, they have given much thought to the subject), you can always contact their offices, especially if you're a constituent. Chris,

I fear he will be myopic and only work in the interests of MSFC. I pray Mr. Cramer conducts himself in a manner benefitting the entire space program.
