Rep. Cartwright Holding Artemis Supplier and NEPA Small Business Industry Day with NASA Administrator Bill Nelson Monday, May 24
“The event will focus on opportunities for small business contracting to support space exploration technology research and NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to land the first woman and the next man on the moon by 2024. An informational session will take place from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. ET, and matchmaking breakout sessions will be held from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET.”
Keith’s note: Where do I start?
1.“first woman and the next man” is Trump lingo. “first woman and the first person of color” is Biden lingo. Gotta keep your memes and tag lines current, NASA. Just sayin’
2. Landing on the Moon “by 2024”. Really? Who writes this stuff?
3. While the NASA OSBP Twitter account mentions this, if you go to the NASA Office of Small Business Programs website there is absolutely no mention of this event even though the NASA OSBP guy’s smiling face is all over the graphic that came with this press release. (Update: they added something to their website late in the day).
4. This is a big deal for Pennsylvania, the Vice President’s home state. So you’d think that the folks there would be psyched and all keyed up to support – or at least mention – this event. Nope. There is no mention at the Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce or at Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development, etc.
5. There is mention of this event at @NASA, @NASAArtemis, @NASA_SLS, or @NASA_Orion on Twitter, or on the NASA.gov calendar, NASA TV schedule, NASA Artemis website, NASA commercial space website,
As you can see below NASA’s Small Business team is not exactly up to date on the things that they are supposed to be up to date on. If they can’t bother to be current with the important stuff then why should people take them seriously?
