Bill Nelson Goes Back To Congress
House Appropriations CJS subcommittee Hearing: FY 2022 Budget Request for NASA
Keith’s note: This is the first time that NASA Administrator Senator Astronaut Bill Nelson faces Congress. There is no mention made of the hearing on the NASA TV calendar. But wait – the NASA TV site says it will air the hearing at 2:00 pm. So much for the accuracy of the NASA TV calendar I suppose.
like a pauper with hat in hand to the workhouse overlords “Please sir can I have some more HLS money” do you think it will be all about the HLS sole source, not enough funds selection or will it be more broad pleasantries and grandstanding by congress folks and at the end of the day they commit to pennies on the dollar of what is needed?
This just reminds me of that famous scene in ‘Robocop’ 1987, when Dick Jones laments the demise of his overpriced and underhanded pet project: “Who cares if it worked or not!”
Victory for me will be letting Space X keep the two initial launches for HLS. After they demonstrate their success then we can take a hard look at the the excuses SLS will have for still not being able to compete.
