The Russian news agency RIA Novosti published an interesting commentary about US-Russia space cooperation earlier this week, one that indicates that at least some in Russia have an arguably warped perspective of US policy and intentions. The essay, by Novosti’s political commentator Andrei Kislyakov, claims that the national space policy released by the US last […] Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) announced yesterday that he will not seek a third term in 2008. Allard has been a supporter of military space issues in the Senate and was chairman of the strategic forces subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Committee in the last Congress; he also served (along with Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA)) […] Yesterday marked the third anniversary of President Bush’s speech at NASA Headquarters where he unveiled the Vision for Space Exploration. The anniversary passed quietly; the closest thing to coverage of the anniversary yesterday was a Houston Chronicle article about the budget pressures facing NASA because of the lack of an FY07 budget for the agency. […] It’s been a little over three months since the Bush Administration quietly released the new national space policy.

Subcommittee assignments have not been announced (nor the full list of members of the whole committee, for that matter) but most likely […] As part of a rules package passed by the House yesterday, the House Science Committee has been renamed the Science and Technology Committee. Committee chairman Bart Gordon announced the change, as well as a redesigned web site (note the new URL) that looks essentially the same as the site for the committee’s Democratic Caucus in […] On Thursday, the first day of the 110th Congress, the heads of the House and Senate appropriations committees, Rep. David Obey and Sen. Robert Byrd, announced that they were reconciling their subcommittee structures, which had been out of whack the last two years (in part because of a reorganization in the House led by then-majority […] One of the hallmarks of British space policy for years has been its opposition to human spaceflight, preferring to devote its funding, including its contributions to ESA programs, to robotic Earth and space sciences missions.
