The Annual DC Space Soft Lobbying Event Is Now Underway
023 SLS, Orion, EGS, and Gateway Suppliers Conference

Keith’s note: From 26-28 March here in Washington, DC the Annual SLS, Orion, EGS, & Gateway Suppliers Conference is being held. Media are not welcome (no invitations or advisories issued) since lots of “soft lobbying” goes on – and there are receptions by Aerozone Alliance and the Coalition For Deep Space Exploration onsite at the capitol where members and their staff will be drinking, back slapping, and rubbing elbows. Can’t let the media see that now can we? This is the letter that the NASA lawyers sent out in 2022 to justify NASA employee attendance at that year’s event. Of course, this is just another example of DC culture where the usual suspects inside the DC space bubble meet for choir practice in an echo chamber (those marble halls in Congress have lots of that echo thing). Transparency is at a minimum.
