The radio show The Space Show features an interview today (5 pm EST) with former astronaut Jay Buckey, who was a payload specialist on the STS-90 shuttle flight in 1998 and is now a professor of medicine at Dartmouth. Besides that, though, Buckey is running for the US Senate from New Hampshire, seeking the Democratic […] That’s the claim the Orlando Sentinel makes in a blog post about Mitt Romney’s visit to KSC today, which will be followed by a meeting with the same industry officials that Rudy Giuliani met with on Friday. In between his KSC tour and meeting, Romney will hold a press conference at the KSC Visitors Center, […] Rudy Giuliani wrapped up his space policy roundtable Friday afternoon on Florida’s Space Coast with this goal, according to the AP: to “narrow and possibly even eliminate” the shuttle-Constellation gap. “A strong NASA and a revitalized space program will be a priority for a Giuliani Administration from day one,” he said, calling the gap “not […] Last week’s announcement that Canadian company MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates (MDA) was selling its space business to US firm Alliant Techsystems (ATK) has not gone over well in Canada.

In that speech, Griffin warned that Congress’ decision to provide extra funding for the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM)—the result of what he called […] Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has long had an interest in prizes for motivating advances in spaceflight, among other areas, and that interest is apparently still strong. In an interview with Human Events he had this to say about a Mars prize: I had a very senior member of the Air Force say […] The interest in space in the upcoming CNN/Politico debates does not appear to be a fluke—at least not yet. Among the most popular Republican questions, space policy questions occupy four of the top seven spots, and six of the top 15. On the Democratic side it’s even stronger: nine of the top ten most popular […] Tiger Weekly, a publication serving the LSU community, talked with university chancellor and former NASA administrator Sean O’Keefe about the space agency’s exploration plans.
