SPACE.com has published an “exclusive” report on what Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry thinks about the Vision for Space Exploration and other space policy issues. The answers are somewhat predictable: while strongly supportive of NASA (calling it “an invaluable asset to the American people”), he is skeptical of the exploration plan, saying Bush has not […] An article in Aerospace Daily today (not available online) discusses John Kerry’s views on NASA and the Bush space plan, based primarily on an interview with Jason Furman, the candidate’s economic policy director. Furman told Aerospace Daily that Kerry doesn’t support the new exploration plan “mainly because he thinks it would cost too much.” (The […] Over at an earlier posting about Kerry’s voting record on NASA, Bill Turner has supplied the text of an email message he received from the Kerry campaign about the candidate’s view on space programs. There’s not much detail in the message, and the link provided to a December 2003 speech he gave at Stanford mentions […] The reelection web site for President Bush has introduced a new feature, “Journeys with John”, that attempts to show on a state-by-state basis why John Kerry is wrong on some of the issues. For Florida (one of only two states included to date) one of the topics is titled “Cutting NASA Funding”: In 1995, Kerry […] The Associated Press reports that Florida Governor Jeb Bush made some comments about John Kerry and space policy during a speech he gave in Miami Beach claiming that Kerry has been on both sides of a number of issues: Bush said Kerry also has been against space exploration and voted against an overseas citrus marketing, […] Rand Simberg at Transterrestrial Musings has noted the creation of a new space policy weblog: Democrats for Mars. The purpose of the site is “to convince space supporters that this year’s Republican candidate is not their friend. And to convince the Democrats to set their sites [sic] on the starts [sic].” There’s not much else […] Over at the Transterrestrial Musings weblog, Jim McDade comments on whether Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry is NASA’s “friend or enemy”. The commentary takes some odd turns, but the gist of his comment is that Kerry does not take NASA very seriously because he lumps it under his “agenda for urban America” on his campaign […] There’s been a frisson of interest in Dennis Kucinich, the Ohio Congressman who is continuing his quixotic quest for the Democratic presidential nomination, based on a press release his campaign issued over the weekend on space policy. In the release Kucinich calls for tripling NASA’s budget, although he is vague regarding how he would spend […] Dana Rohrabacher has apparently won a very easy victory in his California Republican Party primary Tuesday over former Congressman Bob Dornan. According to an L.A. Times article, Rohrabacher, chairman of the House Science Committee’s space subcommittee, held an 8-1 lead over Dornan, who earned the nickname “B-1 Bob” during his tenure in Congress. (More updated […] As noted here earlier, one of the candidates in the Republican primary for the US Senate race in Illinois is Chirinjeev Kathuria, one of the early investors in MirCorp. With that primary coming up in just over two weeks, I was curious to see how he was doing in a crowded field of candidates for […] |
