Bolden Sees Future At Dulles Mission Control Center, Aviation Week
“NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, vowing to fight for an early flight of Orbital Science Corp.’s Taurus II launch vehicle, says he can foresee the day when human spaceflight is controlled from the company’s office-building campus near Washington Dulles International Airport. In a brief question-and-answer session with reporters Nov. 12 following a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Orbital’s new “Mission Control Center-Dulles,” Bolden said he will do everything he can to produce some $300 million in augmented funding for NASA’s Commercial Orbital Transportation System (COTS) this year.”
Keith’s note: Yet another stealth Bolden appearance. Obviously there was some hand picking of the media present who were then allowed to ask Bolden questions since no media advisory was issued for this event.
