The AIAA has updated slightly its planned Commercial Space Rountable on Capitol Hill on July 13. The notable changes are the removal of Sens. Brownback and Nelson from the program and the addition of Rep. Boehlert in their place. Buzz Aldrin has also been added to the program to provide closing remarks. Even with a […] The comments section of a previous post has been taken over by a discussion of an unrelated article on space commercialization that appeared in Wednesday’s issue of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The article reads something like a high school essay, perhaps because it was, apparently, written by a high school student. Alex Dalsey gets credit […] The Deseret Morning News in Salt Lake City has a brief article about former senator and astronaut Jake Garn’s role in promoting the Vision for Space Exploration. Garn is heading the relatively little-known organization Global Space Travelers (which the article reveals was founded several years ago by Buzz Aldrin, but has done virtually nothing in […] The AIAA has released updated information about the commercial space forum it is organizing on July 13 on Capitol Hill. They have a document with full details, although I experienced some problems downloading (it appears to be a 1.5 MB one-page Word file). The event is scheduled for 11:30 am to 2:00 pm in Rayburn […] I suspect many, if not most, Americans are blissfully unaware that there’s a national election in Canada on Monday. Universe Today notes that the Mars Society of Canada sent questionnaires to representatives of the major parties in the weeks ahead of the election, asking for their stand on space issues, including funding for the Canadian […] The Space Exploration Alliance (SEA) has added several additional member organizations in recent days, bringing the total up to 21. In addition to the Moon Society, which announced its membership in SEA earlier this month, the new groups include: Federation of Galaxy Explorers Global Space Travelers NASA Alumni League ShareSpace Foundation Space Generation Foundation Space […] The California State Assembly last week passed a resolution in support of the Vision for Space Exploration. Assembly Joint Resolution (AJR) 86, introduced last month by Assemblywoman Sally Leiber (D-Mountain View), calls on the US Congress to fully fund the proposed NASA FY2005 budget. The text of the resolution calls on the old standbys for […] I refrained from commenting on the Aldridge Commission’s final report because so much had already been said about its (leaked) contents before its release. (Also, I have been very busy the last several days.) There were a few tidbits about the release I wanted to point out: If you haven’t already watched it, check out […] John Marburger, the President’s science advisor, was the luncheon speaker Tuesday during NASA’s Centennial Challenges workshop in Washington. During his talk he touched upon the rationale for sending humans into space, and had some interesting comments: We’re pretty sobered by the Columbia experience and the Challenger experience. They made it clear that we have to […] Another organization has jointed the Space Exploration Alliance. The Moon Society joins the 13 other organizations that are part of SEA, according to a Moon Society press release (which curiously is not on their web site but is available at Rocketforge.) You can be excused if you haven’t heard of the Moon Society—they’re a small […] |
