More Space Policy Changes Ahead
Space Council To Update 2010 National Space Policy, Space Policy Online
“The White House National Space Council is looking at revising the existing U.S. National Space Policy, issued in 2010 during the Obama Administration. Space Council director Scott Pace said today he expects a lot of continuity with the existing policy, but enough has changed to warrant an update. Meanwhile, the head of Russia’s space agency blasted the White House’s plans to create a legal blueprint for lunar exploration and utilization reportedly called the Artemis Accords.”
Normal activity for a first term Administration facing a possible defeat in November: leave a mark while you can. Other initiatives include further gutting the EPA, putting even more partisan judges on the bench ( a particularly egregious example is the 2nd Circuit); oh, and I almost forgot: in the midst of a pandemic yet another attempt to dislodge the Affordable Care Act.
