Is there anything that the House didn’t honor yesterday? The House took up no fewer than four resolutions recognizing people, agencies, organizations, and even years with space-related links:
- H.Res, 1315, commemorating the 50th anniversary of NASA;
- H.Res. 1313, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the shuttle flight of Sally Ride, the first American woman in space;
- H.Res. 1312, commemorating the 2th anniversary of the Space Foundation; and
- H.Con.Res. 375, honoring the International Year of Astronomy in 2009.
None of these, of course, are terribly controversial. The latter two passed on voice votes Tuesday, while the first two still require the formality of a roll call vote.
