X37C

The U.S. Air Force's Boeing X-37B, which began as a NASA craft but was transferred to the Pentagon in 2004, is an unmanned space plane that looks like a small space shuttle. Like the shuttle, it returns to Earth and lands on a runway. It has been flying successfully for five years. A scaled-up version with an astronaut crew to work outside the vehicle could reestablish America's ability to build and maintain big structures in Earth orbit.

X37C

Well, after talking to Capitol Hill staffers, they too are suffering the same head issues I am. At least I'm in good company.

Rather than talk about what Congress will or will not pay for, let's review what Congress has done since 2010 on space funding.

Congress has, on its own and despite both opposition from the Administration and aggressive delaying tactics on the SLS and Orion programs from NASA, appropriated those amounts needed to keep both Orion and SLS on track. And just as it's done since 2010, Congress is going to do what it wants on HSF, which is fund Orion and SLS fully. 

What Congress sees is not a justification for Commercial Crew. Far from it. Congressional staffers are well aware of the true progress of that program and no, none of those players are getting us to ISS anytime soon. That's largely NASA's fault since Congress has informed it that the CCP program needed to down-selected years ago to better focus limited resources for faster progress. But NASA's leadership didn't do that for political reasons. Loose Boeing and CCP looses luster and respectability. Loose Sierra Nevada and we working on three capsule programs. And if you want to make engineers working in GN&C or ELSS laugh, tell them that one of the CCP companies will be flying crews by 2016. Guffaws galore. 

And those in Congress specializing in space are well aware that, had getting independent access to ISS for our nation really been Job #1 for NASA's leadership, then the Administration would have approved Boeing's proposal for the X-37B follow-on, the 5 crew X-37C. We are talking about a dependable spacecraft that can sit in orbit for over a year and NASA said no to making it a crewed vehicle. Why?

What Congress does see is that if we had not gone through the nonsense of 2010, we would be much closer to our own capability to launch crews to ISS than we are today. Instead, Neil Armstrong was right–the Administration changed our nation's HSF course in secret, without consultation, and mucked things up.

When it comes to the Moon, Congress is funding $3.5B annually on the DDTE for Orion and SLS. Anything else will have to wait for a new Administration as there is zero trust right now in Congress of anything the White House or NASA HQ are selling about human spaceflight.

This Week in The Space Review

December 19, 2016

Welcome to The Space Review's weekly newsletter!

The future of war in space is defensive

Concerns about growing anti-satellite capabilities of countries like China and Russia have led some to suggest the US step up its offensive space capabilities. Edward Ferguson and John Klein make the case that a more defensive stance to those threats will be more effective in the long run.
 

Dagger of the mind

In the 1960s, President Johnson received intelligence briefings about the development of what would be known as the N-1 rocket, but what did he actually see? Charles Vick and Dwayne Day discuss declassified images of the N-1 as presented in those briefings.
 

America's future in LEO? The possibilities and challenges facing commercial space stations (part 2)

In the conclusion of an examination of the future of America's presence in low Earth orbit, Cody Knipfer explores some of the initiatives NASA has underway to potentially add commercial modules to the ISS, and the need for a plan to transition from the ISS to commercial space stations.
 

Will 2017 finally be the year of the small launcher?

Several companies continue to make progress on small launch vehicles even as other suffer setbacks. Jeff Foust examines whether the next year will see some of those efforts finally take flight, and whether smallsat developers are interested in using them.
 

Are lunar fuel depots needed for Mars missions?

The incoming administration may be interested in redirecting NASA back to the Moon, arguably to develop infrastructure needed for future Mars missions. Chris Carberry and Rick Zucker argue that such an approach would only delay, not support, the goal of sending humans to Mars.
 

Review: Earth in Human Hands

Human activity is changing the Earth, even if those changes were not the intent of that activity. Jeff Foust reviews a book by a planetary scientist and astrobiologist who examines the need to make deliberate changes to Earth to offset the damage, drawing in part upon our knowledge drawn from studies of our solar system.


Editor's Note: The Space Review will not publish the week of December 26. The next issue will be Tuesday, January 3, 2017. Happy Holidays!
 
We appreciate any feedback you may have about these articles as well as any other questions, comments, or suggestions about The Space Review. We're also actively soliciting articles to publish in future issues, so if you have an article or article idea that you think would be of interest, please email me.

As a parting stab in the back to life, the Obama Administration just issued an unthinkable regulation . . .

Bobby,

It's President Obama's most deadly lawlessness – in his final days.

As a parting stab in the back to life, the Obama Administration just imposed an unthinkable regulation banning states from defunding Planned Parenthood's abortion business.

Planned Parenthood slaughters over 323,000 innocent babies a year – 900 babies murdered a day. It takes half a billion of your tax dollars.

Planned Parenthood has been caught selling aborted babies' body parts. It has been referred for criminal prosecution by both the House and Senate.

This is how your tax dollars are being spent. And President Obama is forcing you to fund it.

We're aggressively fighting back on Capitol Hill. We're urging the new President to end this evil. We're demanding Congress repeal this deadly rule. And if necessary, we're preparing legal action.

No American should be forced to fund abortion. Period.

We can defeat President Obama's Planned Parenthood bailout, but we can't do it without your urgent Tax-Deductible support.

We're far short of our Year-End Matching Challenge Goal with about two weeks to go. Chip in $5 or more in defense of babies and have your gift DOUBLED today.

Double Your Impact: $5 Becomes $10. $20 Becomes $40.
