I believe that the southern part of Bart Gordon’s TN district serves as a bedroom community for some people who work in a certain northern AL town. The name of that town is Huntsville.

I may be wrong. I request that somebody, who knows that region better, confirm or correct this information.

Don’t you just love social darwinism.

As for Gordon “maximizing the effectiveness of the nation’s civil and commercial space and aeronautics programs”, I don’t buy it. He simply doesn’t have the guts to kill Ares and demand that NASA follow the “persue commercial opportunities for providing transportation” provision of VSE to the letter.
