Space leadership act

New post on AmericaSpace The Space Leadership Act To Be Announced by Jim Hillhouse On Thursday, Representatives John Culberson (TX-07), Frank Wolf (VA-10), Bill Posey (FL-15) and Pete Olson (TX-22) will announce the Space Leadership Act, a bill that seeks to ensure America’s preeminence in space leadership by creating long-term stability in the nation's space program. The Space Leadership Act is focused on enacting important management reforms to build a more stable and more accountable space program. One of the key goals is to make NASA whipsaw less to the political winds than has been the case in the last 3 years. Some will claim that this is just another shot at space policy. Unlike some previous space policy efforts where Congress was kept in the dark, this one has been examined by members of Congress, who want to see a stronger, rather than weaker, space agency as well as The National Academies Space Studies Board during the course of several hearings around the country.
