Space Exploration Act of 2002

Posted by michael on Friday May 24, 2002 @05:49AM from the to-boldly-go dept.

orn writes "Rep. Lampson introduced a bill (pdf) (H.R. 4742) to the House on May 16th for a human space exploration initiative. I haven't heard a peep about it from the popular press, just a few articles on various space sites: SpaceRef's, the Planetary Society's, the Mars Society's. If you're interested in the sort of thing (and you live in the U.S.), contact your representative and let them know! While you're at it, figure out how to get the popular press aware of this..." On a related note is a story dicussing the controversy over whether the Moon should be developed, which seems a little premature to me.

all but peaceful scientific research in a 1959 treaty
Watch GWB break that treaty, too.
Just see what happened to the Kyoto environmental treaty, the International Court (USA stands for justice, eh?) treaty as well as to the ballistic missile defense treaty that has been the building block of the nuclear stability For decades.
Fucking moron of a president.
