		<description>It&#039;s not a Democrat vs. Republican thing (spending on killing for black gold).  
It&#039;s a MABUS thing: AND OUR CONSENT IS IT&#039;S ENGINE

@Anthony: I see what Mike O. &amp; Hat T. are doing, but does it really have a place here?  Do you really want to publish this list and this letter and espouse specific political action?

perhaps links instead might be more acceptable / palatable?</description>

		<description>271, there are many Democrats who are quite unhappy about the cancellation of Constellation, as well.

Mr. Okuda -- thank you for the fantastic and useful list!

Although I do not have his fax number, polite and respectful letters of opposition to the Administrator of NASA may also be written to the following address:

The Honorable Charles Bolden
Administrator
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
300 E Street, SW
Washington, DC 20546-0001

A sample letter follows and may be appropriately modified for use in letters to Congressional Representatives and Senators:


Dear Administrator Bolden:

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the Agency&#039;s reported actions that have the effect of terminating Project Constellation.  

For the last five decades, an enduring national consensus has been achieved that the United States must lead in the development and implementation of the national means to send astronauts to explore outer space.  President Kennedy&#039;s clarion call to land a man on the Moon before the decade was out resulted what many around the world continue to see as the cardinal achievement of mankind&#039;s longheld dreams to set foot on another world.  Regardless of political party, millions of Americans and billions of others around the world stand in awe of NASA&#039;s achievements that showed that our civilization, and indeed our species, need not be limited to Earth.  The investment in technology developed in support of our manned efforts have yielded untold tangible economic benefits to our economy through basic science followed programmically by innovation and invention.   For a time, the promise of exploiting the infinite resources of the universe loomed large in the national consciousness.

Recently, however, this promise has been betrayed as decisions by successive Presidential Administrations have kept NASA limited to low-Earth orbit.  Resources that could have been productively used to extend the reach of humanity have instead been diverted to the construction of a space station whose utility has been widely questioned.  Until the development of vehicles for Project Constellation, spearheaded by NASA and supported by a bipartisan Congressional consensus for five years, the United States lacked any means of breaking the bonds of Earth&#039;s orbit.

While promised programs to develop &quot;next generation&quot; propulsion technologies may appear attractive, merely increasing the outlay for research and development toward their realization is a far cry from the actual construction of human-rated vehicles, such as the Orion and Ares, based on mature technologies already developed and successfully implemented for the Space Transportation System.  As former astronauts and many others with an abiding interest and expertise in our national objectives in space have observed, cancelling Project Constellation in the hopes that such &quot;next generation&quot; programs will yield results represents a giant step backward from what has already been achieved.

On behalf of millions of others who share my sentiments, I strongly urge that you heed the calls of Members of Congress and others  to stop the damage to Project Constellation before it&#039;s too late.

While most Americans would agree with the need for financial responsibility in the outlay of Federal funds, plans to terminate Project Constellation in favor of new objectives are not the way to achieve it.  Our future depends on continuing the path toward success represented by Project Constellation, Ares, and Orion.

Respectfully,

		<description>We’ve been told that the quickest, most effective means of sending a message to Congress or the President in support of Project Constellation and human space exploration is by fax.  Conventional letters are good, but they can get held up for weeks by security.

To find your Representative’s name, go to: 
https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml 
and enter your ZIP Code. 

Scroll down the list below to find your state.  Try to address each fax or e-mail individually, since no one likes to get bulk mail.  Some members of Congress may not send responses to people outside their districts, but every citizen has a right to contact any Representative or Senator (or the President) because their votes affect the entire country.  Please feel free to distribute this list to anyone interested in helping to support Constellation.  (List as of 2/10)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve been told that the quickest, most effective means of sending a message to Congress or the President in support of Project Constellation and human space exploration is by fax.  Conventional letters are good, but they can get held up for weeks by security.</p>
<p>To find your Representative’s name, go to:<br />
<a href="https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml" rel="nofollow">https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml</a><br />
and enter your ZIP Code. </p>
<p>Scroll down the list below to find your state.  Try to address each fax or e-mail individually, since no one likes to get bulk mail.  Some members of Congress may not send responses to people outside their districts, but every citizen has a right to contact any Representative or Senator (or the President) because their votes affect the entire country.  Please feel free to distribute this list to anyone interested in helping to support Constellation.  (List as of 2/10)</p>

		<description>Nice write up!  Look, in a perfect world, or at least a good world, we might still be moving forward on this.

But MABUS f**ked things up so badly for us, that now we need to make VERY HARD DECISIONS.  This is one of them.  &quot;Staying the course&quot; is no longer an option.

BUT don&#039;t worry!  It&#039;s NOT the end of the space program!</description>

		<description>Note also an article in today&#039;s Wall Street Journal by Taylor Dinerman, a columnist for The Space Review and a member of the board of advisers for Space Energy, a firm working on space-solar-energy concepts.  Criticizing the Administration&#039;s proposed reliance on private enterprise, Dinerman states,

&quot;The private sector simply is not up for the job. For one, NASA will have to establish a system to certify commercial orbital vehicles as safe for human transport, and with government bureaucracy, that will take years. Never mind the challenges of obtaining insurance.

&quot;Entrepreneurial companies have consistently overpromised and under-delivered. Over the past 30 years, over a dozen start-ups have tried to break into the launch business. The only one to make the transition into a respectably sized space company is Orbital Sciences of Dulles, Va. Building vehicles capable of going into orbit is not for the fainthearted or the undercapitalized.&quot;

The article&#039;s conclusion is similar to mine:

&quot;The Augustine Commission&#039;s recent report to the White House was entitled &quot;Seeking a Human Spaceflight Program Worthy of a Great Nation.&quot; The space entrepreneurs may claim that they can send people into space for a fraction of the previous cost, but they have not yet proved it. NASA&#039;s policy is neither bold nor new; it is yet another exercise in budget-driven program cancellation. Until the American government can bring itself to choose a path and stick to it for more than a single administration, its claim to be worthy of a great nation will be in doubt.&quot;

		<description>To the contrary, 264, the Augustine Commission stated the Orion element of Project Constellation was the best way to achieve the goals of manned spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit.

The Augustine Commission, whose final report, entitled, &quot;Seeking a Human Flightflight Program Worthy of a Great Nation,&quot; is cited by the Obama Administration in attempting to justify the cancellation of Project Constellation, noted, in relevant part:

&quot;A human landing and extended human presence on Mars stand prominently above all other opportunities for exploration. [...] Mars is unquestionably the most scientifically interesting destination in the inner solar system. It possesses resources which can be used for life support and propellants. If humans are ever to live for long periods with intention of extended settlement on another planetary surface, it is likely to be on Mars. But Mars is not an easy place to visit with existing technology and without a substantial investment in resources.&quot;

The Commission then extensively examined options for human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit, settling on the Flexible Path option, which at a minimum preserved the Orion aspect of Project Constellation.

Under President Obama&#039;s proposal, Orion, along with the rest of Project Constellation, would be cancelled.

It is worth noting that the cancellation would change NASA&#039;s direction yet again despite substantial developmental costs already expended toward implementation of Project Constellation. Although it said that sunk costs can only be one factor to be considered, the Commission warned against constant changes in NASA&#039;s objectives:

&quot;Significant space achievements require continuity of support over many years. One way to assure that no successes are achieved is to continually introduce change. Changes
to ongoing programs should be made only for compelling reasons. NASA and its human spaceflight program are in need of stability, having been redirected several times in the
last decade.&quot;

The Commission warned that changes to Project Constellation carried significant risks, and, among other consequences, entail the loss of existing workforce resources and human expertise. Significantly, despite its concerns about the escalating costs of Ares I, it flatly noted that terminating Ares I would cause programmatic disruption.

&quot;Alternatives to Project Constellation?&quot;

The Commission&#039;s report emphasized that a super-heavy lifter with a rating similar to Ares V would be required. By contrast, the President&#039;s proposal omits any programmatic funding for any such lifter.

The Commission&#039;s recommendations on commercial spaceflight made no mention of private provision of such launchers, and for good reason: Most of those knowledgeable in the field admit that commercial spaceflight cannot operate beyond low-Earth orbit and, moreover, have no generally recognized investment interest to in doing so. Development of an Ares V-class launcher would have no basis in private industry. Even the claims of a private industry lobbying group draw the line at going beyond a few hundred miles beyond the Earth:

&quot;We have a tremendous opportunity here to jump-start private activity in low-Earth orbit that will further lower the cost of access to space and unleash the economic potential of space long promised.&quot;

Use of commercial options for low-Earth orbital operations, the Commission noted, should be pursued only if there is accelerated development toward a heavy-lift vehicle such as the Ares V.

Contrary to the Commission&#039;s findings, the Administration&#039;s proposal for NASA, however, contains no such acceleration and in fact would terminate the Ares V without providing for any substitute.

The Commission also noted that a commonly cited alternative to Project Constellation, reliance on the Defense Department&#039;s Delta IV and Atlas V vehicles (also known as Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles, or EELV&#039;s), incurred significant costs:

&quot;Because of these realignment costs, the EELV-heritage super heavy does not become available significantly sooner than the Ares V or Shuttle-derived families of launchers. The transition to this way of doing business would come at the cost of cutting deeply into a the internal NASA capability to develop and operate launchers, both in terms of skills and facilities.&quot;

Nor does the Administration&#039;s proposal contain any funding for even this alternative.

&quot;Not Worthy&quot;

In short, President Obama&#039;s budgetary proposal would cancel NASA&#039;s means to achieve the goals cited by the Augustine Commission. It would seek private means of achieving low-Earth orbital operations but essentially delay programmatic commitment toward any human spaceflight beyond that threshold.

If the Administration had its way, NASA would no longer have in mind the objectives the Commission saw were worthy of a great nation.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To the contrary, 264, the Augustine Commission stated the Orion element of Project Constellation was the best way to achieve the goals of manned spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit.</p>
<p>The Augustine Commission, whose final report, entitled, &#8220;Seeking a Human Flightflight Program Worthy of a Great Nation,&#8221; is cited by the Obama Administration in attempting to justify the cancellation of Project Constellation, noted, in relevant part:</p>
<p>&#8220;A human landing and extended human presence on Mars stand prominently above all other opportunities for exploration. [...] Mars is unquestionably the most scientifically interesting destination in the inner solar system. It possesses resources which can be used for life support and propellants. If humans are ever to live for long periods with intention of extended settlement on another planetary surface, it is likely to be on Mars. But Mars is not an easy place to visit with existing technology and without a substantial investment in resources.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Commission then extensively examined options for human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit, settling on the Flexible Path option, which at a minimum preserved the Orion aspect of Project Constellation.</p>
<p>Under President Obama&#8217;s proposal, Orion, along with the rest of Project Constellation, would be cancelled.</p>
<p>It is worth noting that the cancellation would change NASA&#8217;s direction yet again despite substantial developmental costs already expended toward implementation of Project Constellation. Although it said that sunk costs can only be one factor to be considered, the Commission warned against constant changes in NASA&#8217;s objectives:</p>
<p>&#8220;Significant space achievements require continuity of support over many years. One way to assure that no successes are achieved is to continually introduce change. Changes<br />
to ongoing programs should be made only for compelling reasons. NASA and its human spaceflight program are in need of stability, having been redirected several times in the<br />
last decade.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Commission warned that changes to Project Constellation carried significant risks, and, among other consequences, entail the loss of existing workforce resources and human expertise. Significantly, despite its concerns about the escalating costs of Ares I, it flatly noted that terminating Ares I would cause programmatic disruption.</p>
<p>&#8220;Alternatives to Project Constellation?&#8221;</p>
<p>The Commission&#8217;s report emphasized that a super-heavy lifter with a rating similar to Ares V would be required. By contrast, the President&#8217;s proposal omits any programmatic funding for any such lifter.</p>
<p>The Commission&#8217;s recommendations on commercial spaceflight made no mention of private provision of such launchers, and for good reason: Most of those knowledgeable in the field admit that commercial spaceflight cannot operate beyond low-Earth orbit and, moreover, have no generally recognized investment interest to in doing so. Development of an Ares V-class launcher would have no basis in private industry. Even the claims of a private industry lobbying group draw the line at going beyond a few hundred miles beyond the Earth:</p>
<p>&#8220;We have a tremendous opportunity here to jump-start private activity in low-Earth orbit that will further lower the cost of access to space and unleash the economic potential of space long promised.&#8221;</p>
<p>Use of commercial options for low-Earth orbital operations, the Commission noted, should be pursued only if there is accelerated development toward a heavy-lift vehicle such as the Ares V.</p>
<p>Contrary to the Commission&#8217;s findings, the Administration&#8217;s proposal for NASA, however, contains no such acceleration and in fact would terminate the Ares V without providing for any substitute.</p>
<p>The Commission also noted that a commonly cited alternative to Project Constellation, reliance on the Defense Department&#8217;s Delta IV and Atlas V vehicles (also known as Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles, or EELV&#8217;s), incurred significant costs:</p>
<p>&#8220;Because of these realignment costs, the EELV-heritage super heavy does not become available significantly sooner than the Ares V or Shuttle-derived families of launchers. The transition to this way of doing business would come at the cost of cutting deeply into a the internal NASA capability to develop and operate launchers, both in terms of skills and facilities.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nor does the Administration&#8217;s proposal contain any funding for even this alternative.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not Worthy&#8221;</p>
<p>In short, President Obama&#8217;s budgetary proposal would cancel NASA&#8217;s means to achieve the goals cited by the Augustine Commission. It would seek private means of achieving low-Earth orbital operations but essentially delay programmatic commitment toward any human spaceflight beyond that threshold.</p>
<p>If the Administration had its way, NASA would no longer have in mind the objectives the Commission saw were worthy of a great nation.</p>
