He has supported the VSE albeit with intelligent suggestions and criticism. While he is not of my party, I admire his intelligence, his willingness to question constructively, and his independence. He is the kind of politician we despirately need more of in both major political parties.

Sensenbrenner has always been skeptical of NASA’s big programs. He is also a big advocate of commercial taking on a larger portion of the space role. This likely doesn’t bode well for NASA’s homegrown CLV efforts. However, it’s not the death of VSE. Perhaps it will usher in a more realistic interpretation and implementation.
