It’s rare to hear the head of computing giant Intel talk about NASA or space policy in general, but in an interview with the magazine Industry Week Intel CEO Craig Barrett does mention NASA’s budget as part of a larger discussion of R&D spending in the US: Additionally, there were substantial increases for the NASA […] Hard to believe, but at least the Florida Senate thinks so, according to Florida Today. A Senate study found “nearly three dozen agencies, authorities and organizations” that mention space in their titles or mission statements. The Senate’s concern is that this profusion of space-related organizations may not give the state a united front. The solution? […] That’s the question A.J. Mackenzie asks in an essay in this week’s issue of The Space Review. There have been several proposals to provide tax credits to those investing in new space ventures; as previously noted here, Ken Calvert, the incoming chair of the House Science Committee’s space subcommittee, has been pushing one such proposal […] Late Friday NASA announced the three sites that will be finalists for the new NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC), a 500-person back office that will consolidate the financial, human resources, and similar tasks currently handled by the individual field centers. The three finalists—Cleveland, Huntsville, and Stennis Space Center in Mississippi—were selected from a group of […] Just when you thought that the myth of a trillion-dollar Mars mission had died down comes this cartoon by the Washington Post’s Tom Toles.

Taylor Dinerman […] Hampton Roads (Va.) Virginian-Pilot columnist Bronwyn Lance Chester takes aim at Tom DeLay and his support for NASA’s budget in a piece published Thursday. It’s clear that Chester is not that familiar with the Vision for Space Exploration, which she refers to as “man on Mars” program or even “Project Martian Madness” even though the […] If you can’t get enough of space policy commentary (and, really, who can?), a reader points out Prometheus, a blog hosted by the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Colorado. While this blog is devoted to all aspects of science policy, there is a special section devoted to space policy, […] On yesterday the Space Foundation issued a press release about the NASA funding in the FY 2005 budget.
