The Washington Post published an article Wednesday about the problems the US may face down the road with the ISS. Russia currently provides Soyuz spacecraft to the ISS through an agreement that will expire after the October 2005 Soyuz taxi mission. After that, the US will have to pay Russia for additional Soyuz flights. That, […] In this week’s issue of The Space Review, Taylor Dinerman discusses the potential for cooperation between the US and China on space issues. Such cooperation might seem a bit far-fetched, given the past history between the two nations, including the “Chinagate” episode of tech transfer back during the 1990s, there are potential arenas of cooperation […] The AIAA is hosting a Space Nuclear Power & Propulsion Roundtable next week in Washington (there is some confusion whether the event is on Tuesday the 10th or Friday the 13th). The date, though, is a moot point for most: the roundtable is a closed session, open only to participants and other invited guests. The […] Over at The Space Review this week there are a few articles on space policy topics. I have a book review of New Moon Rising, the behind-the-scenes account of the development of the new exploration policy. It’s an interesting book, but is marred to some degree by some production issues, such as poor editing. In […] A number of press accounts have erroneously reported that the Vision for Space Exploration will cost on the order of $1 trillion. In a recent editorial, the editors of the Berkshire (MA) Eagle have apparently decided to discount the alleged price of the plan: The program could cost as much as $800 billion at a […] NASA issued a press release Wednesday noting that legislatures in seven states have passed resolutions in support of the Vision for Space Exploration. In three cases—Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi—the resolutions were passed by both houses of their respective legislatures, while in three others—Kansas, Ohio (which was previously noted here), and Texas—only the state senates passed […] Tonight’s episode of the radio show The Space Show is scheduled to feature Keith Cowing and Frank Sietzen, authors of New Moon Rising, the behind-the-scenes account of the formation of the Vision for Space Exploration. The book itself is being published this month, with a rollout event at the Return to the Moon conference in […] I received the following press release yesterday about an event on Capitol Hill next week on a fairly generic topic: American leadership in space. It has a rather eclectic mix of speakers, including Pete Worden; the press release also uses phrases like “Humanistic Dialog” that, at the very least, start raising eyebrows. I probably won’t […] In this week’s issue of The Space Review, Dwayne Day has an interesting article comparing the rollout of the Space Exploration Initiative 15 years ago this month with the rollout of the Vision for Space Exploration six months ago. The brief summary of the article is that while NASA and the Bush Administration learned some […] You may remember a couple months ago that the AFL-CIO published a web site, “America’s Priorities”, to accompany a 30-second commercial that suggested that President Bush, by promoting a new space exploration vision, was out of touch with what ordinary Americans thought was important. (You can refresh your memories by reading the original post on […] |
