Keith's note: Markup of H.R.5781- the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2010 - by the House Science and technology Committee is underway. Watch the webcast here. Earlier Twitter updates by Marcia Smith can be read here.
According to Marcia the Senate Appropriations Committee Markup of CJS Bill is at 2:30 pm today. The CJS bill includes NASA and NOAA.


Having a final NASA budget that slashes commercial crew is no compromise and shouldn't be acceptable to the Administration. I don't see how a new commercial space industry would be helped by a paltry $150 million and a bunch of loan guarantees. What they need are anchor customers, not wishful thinking.
