Ralph Hall gearing up for new role as chairman of House Science and Technology Committee
“John M. Logsdon, a space policy expert at George Washington University, said Hall’s committee also will have to monitor NASA’s progress on a deep-space rocket and crew capsule that must be built by 2016. “I can say with a fair degree of assurance that NASA is finding it technically and financially difficult to meet some of the targets in the authorization bill,” Logsdon said. “I would expect him to raise some of the questions to NASA about how they are planning on going forward,” he said.”
