One of the big questions that many people are asking is how well NASA upper management will live up to the letter and the spirit of the NASA authorization bill, after the ADA issue.

If I were in Bolden’s shoes I would try to repair relations with Congress. A little bit of good will can go a long way in the years to come.

I share the concern that a forced shuttle-derived design will not succeed, Thomas. My point is that the people who wrote the language say there is nothing in there that necessarily constrains NASA to such a design.

which would keep NASA in limbo perhaps as long as another year.

What’s another year or two after you’ve wasted nearly a decade pursuing folly at an incalculable loss of value, time and resources to our security.

You are not fooling this person supporting a shuttle derived expendable heavy lift launcher. Future failure is guaranteed with this LV design.

Thank you for providing a clear picture of this convoluted process. When the House version came out I felt my hope for real progress starting to fade.

Your article restores provides a glimmer that we may have a real future in HSF, and serious tech advancement for building the infrastructure we need to move out BEO.

Thanks again Justin!
