Research at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) emphasizes a broad study of global change, which is an interdisciplinary initiative addressing natural and man-made changes in our environment that occur on various time scales from one-time forcings such as volcanic explosions, to seasonal and annual effects such as El Niño, and on up to the millennia of ice ages and that affect the habitability of our planet. These idiots cannot even read & understand the name of their own institute! "Space " does not equal "our environment"!

At least hes trying to return NASA to its core core mission: space exploration and not Muslim outreach. And having to rely on Russia for rides to space is down right embarrassing. And why do we need to be spending the funds on it? I would like him to use his committee role to promote private industry solutions and reduce NASA's role.

I hadn’t realized until reading this, that Ted Cruz was in such a position.
This could be a great thing. TO THE MOON!
Heheh.

NASA shouldn’t be involved in “Muslim outreach.”
And aren’t there other institutions that can record the history of the Earth’s climate? NASA should be solely focused on the technologies to keep us in space, as well as working on the tech to help us colonize.

Right, we couldn’t get into space without government. If only we had a space program that worked...

Why is planetary exploration a government endeavor? Where are we going? What’s the benefit? Privatize it and pay down the debt and you’ll reach the stars faster.
Elon Musk has done more for space travel in the last few years, than NASAs done in thirty. It’s government, get it?

NASA has been doing it longer than anyone in the US. I know they no longer have the lead in it, but they’ll have a place as far as leadership goes for a long time to come. After all, they put men on the moon.

I am amazed at the number of people on this thread who don’t realize that the United States needs to *control* space (at least our immediate portion of it) as a defense issue. Cruz can’t come out and SAY that (because enough people already like to call him a loon) but it’s true. The Chinese are working to put a base on the Moon. And the U.S. can’t be out in space without Russia’s cooperation these days. Do you think letting Russia and China control our immediate area of space is a safe way to go for the long run?
Remember the dictum: Control the high ground. And it’s a little dated, but find and read “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.” Then let’s talk.

There’s a reason you have to pass map reading before you take any other classes in military intelligence. Fail that and you’re on your way to cooking school.
