Vice President Harris Advances National Security Norms in Space “Today at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, Vice President Kamala Harris announced that the United States commits not to conduct destructive, direct-ascent anti-satellite (ASAT) missile testing, and that the United States seeks to establish this as a new international norm for responsible behavior in space. The Vice President also called on other nations to make similar commitments and to work […]
One Year into the Biden Administration, NASA Looks to Future “Since President Biden and Vice President Harris were sworn in one year ago, their administration has made generational progress for Americans – and made NASA a priority. This spring, as Artemis I lifts off from Kennedy Space Center, the world will once again witness America’s unrivaled ingenuity and inspiration as NASA prepares the next generation to return to the Moon […]
Keith’s 30 November update: I will have an update for everyone at 11:00 am ET Wednesday morning. Keith’s 30 November update: I just got an email invitation to a post-National Space Council reception by the usual big aerospace suspects. “Following the National Space Council meeting on December 1, AIA, AIAA, CDSE, and CSF will be hosting a reception at the Willard Continental Hotel. Proof of vaccination will be required. This […]
Keith’s note: I have been watching some back and forth on Twitter where journalists are questioning the value of space and biased space people are responding with talking points. IMHO … the National Space Council (NSpC) needs to make an attempt to put space – logically – into a larger societal context – and do so right out of the gate in the very first presentation on 1 December. This […]
YouTube confirms it picked kids featured in Harris video https://t.co/wKJZH8GaOy #NASA The children auditioned for the role and were paid for their participation. So much for finding actual kids actually interested in actual space exploration. #BuildBackBetter #NASA pic.twitter.com/OP6ykkyymz — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) October 12, 2021 Kamala Harris slammed for using child actors in bizarre space video, NY Post “All five of them are actors,” Carlo Bernardino, whose 13-year-old son Trevor […]
Keith’s note: There are a variety of advisory bodies set up for the purpose of soliciting expert advice for how America should run its space activities. One entity, the NASA Advisory Council (NAC) is supposed to be the prime focus on such advice collection. Given the whole pandemic thing, it should be expected that things have fallen behind. But while NASA does everything else, it seems to be unable to […]
Moments ago: @POTUS #JoeBiden addressing troops in the UK: "There is nothing that our nation cannot do if we do it together. We are the nation that cracked the physics of flight, broke the sound barrier, put a man on the Moon, and then flew a helicopter on Mars." #ScienceIsBack pic.twitter.com/JYtSf0tlaA — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) June 9, 2021
Keith’s note: After four years of attempts to kill NASA’s Education Office a new Administration wants to increase NASA’s education funding. A person with a PhD in Education lives in the White House. Overall, the Biden/Harris Administration talks about enhancing education in all quarters of the government. Instead of having a political donor running the Department of Education into the ground, an actual teacher and professional educational manager is now […]
Keith’s note: If you have been watching the space-themed photo ops fro the Oval office you have no doubt seen the Moon rock that President Biden likes to point at on the shelf. NASA can’t get enough of that Moon rock love either. Bill Nelson was sworn in next to it. Imagine what your average citizen might do to find out more about that Moon rock after seeing something on […]
