Great comic from Florida Today One of the many pieces of legislative compromise over the President’s proposed FY 2011 NASA Budget, which seeks to kill NASA’s Project Constellation and outsource future human spaceflight, is discussed in detail over at NASA Spaceflight in Ambitious Ares test flight plan proposed for HLV demonstrations. But even more likely than the [...] On April 16th, AIAA President David Thompson released a statement on behalf of AIAA praising the Obama Administration’s new plans for NASA’s human space program. However, Mr. Thompson failed to disclose that, in addition to being the AIAA President, he is also Founder, Chairman and CEO of Orbital Sciences Corporation, which stands to profit [...] Some proponents of the lackluster Obama NASA proposal continue to criticize the growing number of experienced engineers and scientists, former astronauts (including Neil Armstrong, Eugene Cernan, and Jim Lovell among many), politicians, journalists, and former administrators who speak out against the cancellation of Constellation. The rationale? These people are voices of the past [...] Time Magazine’s article, Obama Explains NASA Policy, Faces Space-Industry Critics is an interesting summary of the challenges facing the Obama Administration as it attempts clean-up the political and policy mess that is its “new” vision for NASA and America’s human space flight program. AmericaSpace Notes: The President’s statement that we’ve already been to the Moon is…well, [...] Plain Talk By Al Neuharth, USA TODAY Founder KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — President Obama in effect pulled the plug on our space program in a speech here Thursday, although he masked it with some vague long-term suggestions. The late president John F. Kennedy must have turned over in his grave. JFK launched the moon landing [...] AmericaSpace Note: We are pleased to welcome this guest post by Jim.

Hell, $40 million won’t pay the costs for a new WAL-MART SUPERCENTER in Titusville. I am not surprised that Obama staffers were [...] AmericaSpace Note: So, you’d think that if a President dealing with space issues and policy travels down to the Space Coast to make a speech at the Kennedy Space Center, that he would at least invite the Congressmen whose districts are most affected by that speech. But. You. Would. Be. Dead. Wrong. Congressman Posey represents [...] NASA Deputy Lori Garver In interesting quote in the Wall Street Journal’s Andy Pasztor’s article, Feud Over NASA Threatens America’s Edge in Space, “One of the first things Ms. Garver said she did was to ‘look under the hood’ of the Constellation program. She didn’t like what she found. The program was years behind schedule and [...] 2008 Obama Space Speech In what is probably one of the most succinct pieces about the multiple transformation regarding space policy by Obama, Eric Steiner lays out the nonsense from the reality in his op-ed article, Sterner: In space, no one hears you flip-flop From the very first paragraph, Sterner pulls no punches but lays it [...] 2008 Obama Space Speech According to the St. Petersberg Times, the President seems to be lining-up the various events that he will attend while visiting Florida mid-month.
