Activists rally for effective space policy

Published May 19, 2011 4:00am ET



A couple days ago, two space activist organizations put out action alerts urging Americans interested in progress in space to support two critical budget items for NASA’s next fiscal year. First, the Space Frontier Foundation, a group that views space as a new frontier for humanity, and advocates government policies to treat it that way, published a call to action at its web site, along with emails to its supporters. Not long afterward, the Space Access Society, an organization dedicated to reducing the costs of getting into space, put out a similar one.

In both cases, the groups asked their followers to contact their representatives and urge them to support the full administration funding request for NASA’s Commercial Crew and the Space Technology Programs.  From the SAS release:
