NPR this morning: “NASA Chief Questions Urgency of Global Warming” NASA/GSFC press release later this morning: “Research Finds That Earth’s Climate is Approaching ‘Dangerous’ Point” Needless to say, Mike Griffin’s remarks are not going over well on Capitol Hill among those members who think that NASA is not spending enough on Earth sciences programs. I […] The joint hearing by the investigations and oversight subcommittee of the House Science and Technology Committee and the space subcommittee of the Senate Commerce Committee into the investigation of NASA inspector general Robert Cobb has been rescheduled for 2 pm on Thursday, June 7 in Russell 253. The hearing had been scheduled for last week […] Paul Spudis spoke Saturday morning at the ISDC, reviewing how NASA is implementing the Vision for Space Exploration and what is right and wrong with it. He said he sees a number of good decisions NASA has made regarding the Vision, including basing the lunar lander on the RL-10 engine, which allows the use of […] Congressman Nick Lampson (D-TX), whose district includes NASA JSC but is perhaps better known as the person who won Tom DeLay’s former seat, spoke late Friday morning at the International Space Development Conference in Dallas.
