No Big Changes In Congressional Oversight of NASA
Texas Remains Powerful Space Influence as House Appropriations, Senate Commerce Announce Subcommittee Chairs, Space Policy Online
“The House Appropriations Committee announced the members who will chair its 12 subcommittees today. At the same time, the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee announced the Republican members and chairs of its six subcommittees. There is no change for NASA and NOAA, but the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee will get a new chairwoman — Kay Granger of Texas. She joins fellow Texans in chairing key space-related committees and subcommittees.”
Polls show many people believe the most obvious distortions of truth. Leaders have integrity. No big changes says it all: the gaslighting continues. Repeal and Relief *replaces* Replace. Get your own.
The USG requires more payloads to reduce launch costs and its clear the US has excess LV capacity sized too big + too many capsules.
==>Yet, “we require heavy lift” and multiple capsules for decades.
VSE: cost effective vehicles that may be reused
==> HSF over 40 yrs: Expendable 70s shuttle derived hardware with solids added by Nixon that lost out to Titan unless if flew 28x per year that costs billions more than other alternatives; limited gains in health.
CxP funded even though it could not get of ground: manipulated data.
The climate change denying scientists manipulated the data!
==>Yet, *HOW* did these ‘leaders’ know that “the same data that were recently found to have been deliberately manipulated to support the global warming movement.” Think about it…it is actually very deceitful.
It should be clear now why the House voted late at night behind close doors to gut its ethics watchdog: to pass unethical, at best, laws to limit liability: short term gain at tremendous long term costs. Its unfortunate voters did not ask What Makes America Great: Gaslighting? and no fine print was provided..Go Figure

*2009* “the same data that were recently found to have been deliberately manipulated to support the global warming movement”

They “had literally gotten the sign wrong in adjusting for the affects of the satellite orbits drift on the sampling of the earth’s large daily temp cycle. This meant that a satellite that started measuring at 2 in the afternoon in a few years was measuring at 6 in the evening”. A complete violation of the physics as nights were warmer than days.
It’s possible for us as space enthusiasts to see where policy statements are deceptive. We can and do speak out. The difficulty is that no one in authority wants to listen.
Arghhhhhhhhh.
