National Space Council's Chirag Parikh Says The Right Things
Keith’s note: National Space Council Executive Director Chirag Parikh just made a short 10 minute presentation at the Space Symposium. He has only been on the job for 3 weeks but he did touch on some important topics – at least topics that I think are important i.e making space relevant beyond the space community’s little bubble. Whether NASA pays attention to what Parikh and the National Space Council says is another matter altogether. NASA does not like to have other people tell the agency what to do. NASA just wants them to provide money to do what NASA wants to do – at a pace that NASA wants. Stay tuned.

“”One of the most impressive things is when astronauts are talking to students across the world — Think about that moment where you said ‘yea, I am going to do space’ ” Chirag Parikh”
I have been hammering this point for almost two decades. Bringing low cost transportation and making it available to 2nd and 3rd tier space programs will be a major boost as their astronauts beam down to their students.
Changes coming to the UAG?
