Increased funding for NASA would stimulate economy while keeping American industry strong, op ed by Rep. Ralph Hall
“Accelerating development of the Constellation system would keep American tax dollars working for us here at home and have a multiplier effect throughout the economy by stimulating high-tech manufacturing and networks of suppliers around the country. This would expand our economic output and help our industries remain competitive in the global marketplace. By fostering this kind of innovation, the U.S. has earned a leadership role in human spaceflight, the economic benefits of which are far-reaching.”
An Astronaut’s Letter to President Obama: Six Space Policy Musts, Tom Jones
“En route to the moon forty years ago, Apollo 11’s astronauts executed a course correction maneuver, an 8-mph rocket burn that fine-tuned their aim. You gave NASA a course correction with the 2010 budget plan. The $19.2 billion NASA budget (just half a percent of federal spending) may seem trivial amid the trillions spent to boost the economy, but such decisions will make or break America’s status as the world leader in space. Here are six moves we need to keep NASA–and the United States–on the right trajectory.”
