Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee – Hearing: Key Issues and Challenges Facing NASA: Views of the Agency’s Watchdogs
3 Feb 2010 Witnesses:
– Hon. Paul K. Martin, Inspector General, National Aeronautics and Space Administration
– Ms. Cristina T. Chaplain, Director, Acquisition and Sourcing Management, Government Accountability Office
– Vice Admiral Joseph W. Dyer [U.S. Navy, retired], Chair, Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel, National
Keith’s note: Hmm… Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, known Ares 1 hugger, who is anti-commercial spaceflight and an Augustine critic – and Joe Dyer (ditto) at the same hearing. Gee, I wonder what they will talk about … There will be a NASA press conference to discuss the budget on 1 Feb and some sort of event at the National Press Club on 2 Feb. Rep. Giffords is holding her hearing on 3 Feb. Should make for some interesting news.
