That’s the message the state is trying to push, NPR reported Monday, in the wake of NASA budget proposals that would cut aeronautics funding and potentially hundreds of jobs at NASA Glenn. Area politicians are fighting the cuts, and one of them, Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora, thinks the state is due some respect from […] The “U.S.-Russia Joint Fact Sheet: Bratislava Initiatives” released by the White House today after the meeting between President Bush and President Putin includes a single sentence about space cooperation: In the area of space cooperation, the Presidents called for enhanced cooperation, focusing on the International Space Station and other projects, including those related to possible […] Shortly after winning reelection, President Bush said, “I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it.” Most of the focus on where he plans to spend that capital has been on issues like Social Security and tax reform. However, in an Orlando Sentinel article Monday Bush indicated that NASA […] The White House is scheduled to release as early as today a new space transportation policy.
