Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will be on Florida’s Space Coast today (right now, as a matter of fact) speaking at the Space Coast Tiger Bay Club in Melbourne; he’ll also host a town hall meeting (dubbed “Ask Mitt Anything”) in Daytona Beach this afternoon. There’s no live coverage of either event, to the best […] In today’s issue of The Space Review I have an article about what the future may hold in store for NASA when the next president takes office in about 18 months. The article is based on a panel session during the NewSpace 2007 conference on Friday. (Rand Simberg has his liveblogged summary of the session […] Last Thursday Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas and a Republican candidate for president who has been trailing in the polls, held a conference call with reports and bloggers to discuss a wide range of issues. One of the participants, who runs a Colorado-based pro-Huckabee blog, asked the candidate a rare question about space […] The blog “A Blog Around The Clock” (part of the Scienceblogs.com network) has an exclusive interview with Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards about science policy issues. One question is devoted to every’s favorite space agency: 3. If elected President, how would you balance the scientific research at NASA with the manned spaceflight program which, arguably, […] During a recent trip to a bookstore I checked out Al Gore’s latest book, The Assault on Reason. Was there anything in this wide-ranging book about space policy, perchance? There’s no entry in the index for NASA, but there is one for “Space, militarization of” (wedged in alphabetical order between Socrates and Stalin, Joseph). Gore […] Last week the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton held a fundraiser/issues forum in Washington, which, as noted at the time, included a breakout session on “commercial and civil aerospace”. An article in this week’s print edition of Space News (not available online) has a few more details about what took place at […] Most readers here know that Newt Gingrich has long advocated the uses of prizes for space exploration, seeing them as more efficient than current NASA-led efforts. (Nevermind that Gingrich, when he did have considerable power as Speaker of the House in the 1990s, did little openly to promote such prizes.) Gingrich, who may or may […] Not surprisingly, space policy wasn’t one of the subjects of the Democratic Party presidential debate last night on CNN. However, a little-noticed article in last week’s print edition of Space News sheds a little light on the space policy of New Mexico governor Bill Richardson. According to the article, Richardson met with a group of […] A reader, Bart Leahy, pointed out that Fox News is soliciting questions for a Republican presidential debate it’s hosting next week in South Carolina: FOX News wants to know what you would ask the Republican presidential candidates when they debate in Columbia, S.C., on Tuesday, May 15. Please e-mail your question to debate@foxnews.com. Include your […] So Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani showed up at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville for a press conference? And what did he talk about? Abortion and the military, the Huntsville Times reports. Certainly not, as one commenter in the previous post suggested, unveiling plans for a human mission to Mars by 2030. […] |
