The NSS issued a press release late last night/early this morning calling for increased spending for NASA. (Since the release isn’t on their web site as of this writing, I have included it below, after the jump). It’s one thing to call for Congress to increase the budget to the fully-authorized level (an increase of […] The Hill is reporting this morning that former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who once wielded his influence to benefit NASA, will now have a new way to support the space agency: he is expected to be named today to the Science, State, Justice, Commerce subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, the subcommittee with oversight […] A couple of officials will be speaking tomorrow on the NASA budget and space policy in Washington. NASA administrator Mike Griffin will be the speaker at a National Space Club luncheon, his first public speech since the budget was released Monday. “[I]t is anticipated that Dr. Griffin’s comments will address this important topic,” the announcement […] Not surprisingly, the reaction in local media at NASA’s field centers to the proposed FY07 budget fell into two camps.
