Hearings
The Future of U.S. Human Space Flight
Jena Longo - Democratic Deputy Communications Director 202.224.7824
May 12 2010 2:30 PM
Russell Senate Office Building - 253

If you play the video you will have about 25 minutes of nothing but the poster as the meeting didn't start on time. It starts up with no sound so you will probably want to play with the slider to get to about the 26 minutes into the archived video.
Texts are available as PDFs below the Flash Video screen. Neil stuck with his, except for a sentence at the beginning which he missed. Gene, however skipped some material because of the ad lib directed at Bolden, which is not in the typescript.
If you would just like to watch what Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan had to say you might take a look at the following link that Colin Mackellar in Sydney Australia made. You can view the video and down load MP4 files for your own permanent record.

Just how we get to space and on what vehicle or combination of, doesn't seem to matter that much to me. I would like to see work done to accomplish the end goal of being able to move off world and survive in the long term. To me the Moon seemed like a good place to start. Changing short term projects every new administration seems like a waste of time and money, but that is just my opinion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?
TheFutureIsRightHere — August 05, 2009 — On Sept. 16, 2010 at 1 p.m. EDT, the last Space Shuttle mission is expected to launch. STS-134 (Space Transport System - stands for STS). After the shuttle's retirement, Nasa's Orion capsule will take its place. The new missions will most likely be called O.S.T.S. (Orion Space Transport System). The Orion and the new Constellation program will take Americans back to the moon on 2020. For more information go to:

If you didn't watch the whole commission hearing and saw what Gene Cernan had to say, you might want to see Bolden's response when asked about the bail out quote.

The New U.S. Space Plan - To Bail-out Or Not Bail-out
AmericaSpace — May 12, 2010 — The "New" Space Plan
Beginning in 2011, the President no longer wants NASA to send astronauts to space. So, he's canceling Constellation. Instead, he wants NASA to subsidize and outsource human space flight.
None of the companies have ever launched a living thing. Not to worry, if the commercial launchers fall behind schedule or go over-budget, NASA will rescue them.
If the commercial launchers get into financial trouble, the NASA Administrator said NASA will bail them out. Even if it is the biggest bail-out ever.
Even bigger than GM's bail-out.
The NASA Administrator denies ever saying this.
But Gene Cernan, Apollo 17 Commander and last man to walk on the Moon heard what the NASA Administrator said.
And wrote it down.

Still trying to figure out how we pass the laws we do and fund or not, those that have been passed.
To go to space or not to go to space, that is the question.
May I borrow a dollar?
Can I hitch a ride?
Listen, what do I hear?

The End of Chaos: Quality Laws and the Ascendancy of Democracy [Hardcover]
David G. Schrunk
Product Description
The book discusses the application of well established quality programs to laws and lawmaking. Quality programs have the potential to end the chaos of laws and to improve the effectiveness, cost-efficiency and user-friendliness of laws in the solution of societal problems. By this means governments will be able to ascend to the status of True Democracy, in which governments always serve the best interests of the people as a whole and reflect their highest aspirations.

Mars Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Space Exploration Initiative, by Thor Hogan, NASA-SP4410, 2007, 194 pages [PDF 9.4 MB] [review]. The rise of Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) and its eventual demise represents one of the landmark episodes in the history of the American space program. The story of this failed initiative is one shaped by key protagonists and critical battles. It is a tale of organizational, cultural, and personal confrontation. Skirmishes involved the Space Council versus NASA, the White House versus congressional appropriators, and the Johnson Space Center versus the rest of the space agency, all seeking control of the national space policy process.
