Alex Hanna, a student at Embry Riddle and the “political officer” for Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS), asked me to post the following letter about some upcoming plans for SEDS’ National Action Network (NAN): […] A couple of interesting commentaries from the right have very different perspectives on NASA and manned space exploration. At Tech Central Station, Charles Rousseaux, a speechwriter for Interior Secretary Gale Norton, congratulates Congress for passing the full NASA budget, as well as the House for approving HR 5382. Rousseaux does go a little overboard, claiming […] I received an email earlier this week announcing Americans for Space, a “campaign of American citizens devoted to realizing America’s destiny in space.” This effort seems primarily oriented towards informing people about the latest developments in space development, but the web site notes that future activities may include letter-writing campaigns and Congressional visits. Americans for […] The comments in a previous post led to a debate over the claims made by one person regarding the sales of a recent space policy book. I have since closed the comments for that post after adding a final comment that tried to clarify the issue. However, during the time since those comments were posted […] As part of my continuing shameless self-promotion, let me point out a few space policy articles of interest in this week’s issue of The Space Review: Douglas Jobes discusses Rohrabacher’s space prizes act, HR 5336, and whether Congress is really serious about such legislation; Last Friday at the SpaceVision2004 conference at MIT, Lori Garver talked […] When I first started this weblog, I had the naive belief that allowing comments to posts would engender discussion about space policy topics and events. In many instances it has, but, unfortunately, the comments in a couple of recent posts have spiraled out of control, featuring some rather unprofessional remarks. This includes allegations of libel, […] USA Today reported last week about a little-publicized report by the National Research Council titled “Solar and Space Physics and Its Role in Space Exploration”. The report discusses the need for studies of the Sun, its interaction with the Earth’s magnetic field, and related topics, as part of the overall exploration program. The NRC put […] Tonight’s episode of The Space Show radio program will feature an interview with space policy expert Jim Muncy. The topics of the interview weren’t mentioned in the announcement, but I assume there will be a fairly broad discussion of items such as the NASA budget and the prospects for HR3752/S.2772. The show starts at 10 […] While I appreciate a spirited debate on space policy topics as much as anyone, the exchange of comments in a few recent posts has taken on a more negative tone among several participants. Please, folks, discuss and debate the topics, not level attacks on one another. Let’s at least act like adults… Virtually all the public comments made by space advocacy groups after the release of the Aldridge Commission’s final report were overwhelming positive. However, as I note in an article in The Space Review, the Mars Society and its leader, Robert Zubrin, are actually quite negative about the report. The article goes into the details of […] |
