NASA Is Ignoring A White House Document On Space Policy

Keith’s note: On 31 March 2023 The White House issued a policy document “Maintaining U.S. Preeminence in Low Earth Orbit“ which seeks to guide ongoing and future ISS research as well as possible commercial platforms that NASA or the private sector may soon sponsor. It has been 4 days. No mention is made at NASA.gov, NASA space station page, ISS National Lab page, @Space_Station, or @ISS_Reseach. Outgoing HEOMD AA @KathyLueders did mention this in a tweet on Friday (after business hours – and after a @NASAWatch tweet prompt. You have to wonder if NASA is really in synch with what the White House is directing the agency to do if they cannot even bother to mention a policy document – one that will serve to guide billions in future investments in space. Just sayin’.
