Broadcast 671 (Special Edition)
Rand Simberg returned for this Friday morning Space Show program. We began our discussion looking at some of the political issues surrounding space, NASE, the VSE, and private space development. We talked about the new congress and space, NASA as a jobs program, difficulties with the VSE, rocketry, heavy lift, on orbit construction and lots more. We discussed returning to the moon, possibly going to an asteroid, NASA budget cuts and what they mean for the overall space program as well as for the COTS program and for Centennial Challenges.
