There are no summer doldrums in Congress this week as two committees in the House and Senate work on versions of appropriations bills that are likely to fund NASA at differing levels, while a NASA authorization bill moves on in the House. At 10 am EDT today, the Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) subcommittee of […] Wednesday’s markup of a NASA authorization bill by the space subcommittee of the House Science Committee played out as expected. Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD), ranking member of the subcommittee, offered the version of an authorization bill she introduced earlier this week as an amendment in the form of a substitute to the Republican-led bill.
