Hey everyone,
I thought I'd share some cool space videos making the rounds
Jump over the fold to see em
The first video is a shot right at the Ares I vehicle
Unfortunately, Mike Griffin hasn't shut up since leaving NASA. But this video hit it right on the money, and Ares I needs to be dropped, right now, particularly for carry crew to orbit.
The 2nd video shows various commercial spaceflight companies current work.
If people want, I know most of the images, and can post them upon request. However, if you follow the Commercial Spaceflight industry, you'll probably recognize many of them.
I would ask everyone, after viewing these videos, to follow through, and contact the following place:
- The HSF committee
- The Office of Science, Technology, and Policy
- The Office of Budget & Management
- The House Appropriations Committee - particularly Congressman Alan Mollohan
- The Senate Appropriations Committee - particularly Senator Barbara Mikulski
- The House Committee on Science & Technology - particularly Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords
- The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
Tomorrow there are hearings that will be held, and I'll provide a report about those. Please take a few minutes, and contact the various people, and let them know that you want to see NASA invest in Commercial Crew, and ditch Ares I
