There’s an interesting passage in a Florida Today article today about comments by Rep. Suzanne Kosmas (D-FL) during a speech Monday in Titusville: Kosmas is awaiting the release of a draft budget proposal for NASA from U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who chairs the House Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee. Kosmas is a member of […] Retired general Lester Lyles, a member of the Augustine Committee, warned a key House appropriator in a letter released today that NASA is underfunded and its key programs out of balance. In a letter (available at SpacePolicyOnline.com) Lyles and two co-signers, Raymond S. Colladay and Len Fisk, who together led a 2009 NRC study “America’s […] The Senate Commerce Committee has announced the witnesses for Wednesday afternoon’s hearing on “The Future of U.S. Human Space Flight” and it’s a high-powered list: The Honorable John P. Holdren Director Office of Science and Technology Policy The Honorable Charles F. Bolden Jr. Administrator National Aeronautics and Space Administration Mr. Neil A. Armstrong Commander, […] At the Utah Republican Party convention in Salt Lake City yesterday, delegates effectively ousted Sen. Robert Bennett, failing to nominate him for a fourth term. Bennett didn’t make it past the second round of balloting, which ended with two candidates, Tim Bridgewater and Mike Lee, selected to face off in a primary next month. The […] The full Senate Commerce Committee (and not just the space subcommittee) is planning a hearing next Wednesday afternoon on “The Future of U.S. Human Space Flight”. A witness list has not been posted yet, but MSNBC’s Jay Barbree claims that Neil Armstrong and/or Eugene Cernan “may” testify. NASA administrator Charles Bolden, perhaps with other senior […] It’s always interesting how different people can look at the same situation and see things very differently. For example, yesterday the Orlando Sentinel reported that the White House’s NASA plans “appear in jeopardy” because of the lack of overt, or at least outspoken, support from members of Congress. “Few Democrats have publicly endorsed the entire […] The chair and ranking member of the space subcommittee of the House Science and Technology Committee, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) respectively, are often on the same page when it comes to space issues. However, in a pair of op-eds published in The Hill yesterday, they have somewhat different opinions about […] House Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. David Obey (D-WI) surprised many when he announced Wednesday that he would not run for reelection, retiring from the House after 21 terms. Obey said he was “bone tired” after a career in Congress and wanted to leave on a high note, namely, passage of health care reform earlier this […] It’s a double dose of commentary from two members of Congress in today’s Washington Post and The Hill. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) and Rep. Suzanne Kosmas (D-FL) coauthored a letter to the editor in today’s Post in response to an earlier editorial by the paper that criticized human spaceflight in general, not just the […] In an op-ed Friday in the Ogden Standard-Examiner, Sen. Robert Bennett (R-UT) attacks the White House’s new direction for NASA, following a line of argument similar to what he presented at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing last week. This included his belief that the Ares rocket was a tried and tested vehicle: I was […] |
