California Reps Support White House Space Plan

And now the real debate begins. Boeing's congressmen are ticked that the Congressional leadership plans to reverse the administration's plan to gut the budget of Lockheed's Orion spacecraft to pay for Boeing's CCDev spacecraft.

If these are all the D's, what happened to all the R's. Are they going to stay silent so to not step on the toes of their buddies to the east? Or maybe the grand old party's standard operating procedure is obstructing the president.

GOP SOP OTP?

This is good as it sounds like they would be more supportive of the Senate bill when it come to conference, or perhaps before.

Too bad Pelosi's name wasn't on that list.

My own CA-Rep isn't on the list either although I requested her to speak up for commercial.

California = 52 congressman and woman, GOP and Dems both
California = Nancy Pelosie
California = new space + Centaur upper stage
California = Ames research center and JPL.
California = commercial payloads
California = PG&E and the California Utility regulators want to try space based solar power.
They will vote for the cheapest SD HLV( side mount) compromise, in order to preserve/save commercial crew.This is the senate bill, " SD HLV with no modifications to the MAP"
the speaker and the west coast delegations will agree to the senate language in this key area during conference committee.if not..............a CR.

Sftommy,
bad form for her to do so,she will follow the president but not publicly scold her space committee,
the deal in the works with the senate will find its way into law with out congresswoman Cosmos being publicly shamed.
side mount will even buy us the Utah delegation in the house with out that delegation having to admit to being bought off by the speaker, even they must pay for there SRB win by buying into commercial crew.
