Yesterday’s announcement of a $15-million Dept. of Labor grant for displaced KSC shuttle workers has a few people riled up around the Johnson Space Center, the Houston Chronicle reports. “This is a political statement by the White House and an attempt by this administration to divide the states,” said Bob Mitchell, head of the Bay […] At a press conference this morning at the Kennedy Space Center Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis is expected to announce a new effort to deal with shuttle workforce transition, Florida Today reports. No other details about the 9 am EDT announcement have been released, although it’s thought the plan is not related to the $40 […] Paul Spudis is an advocate for an immediate return to the Moon.
