In addition to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) support for the private sector, companies are also investing their own capital in exploration in the hopes of serving a future market for transportation, cargo delivery, and surface operations (including in situ resource utilization). The hearing will review these efforts, and NASA's role, in order to better understand the challenges and opportunities that they present. Everest died. I sent Alan Stern, then AA for NASA's Science Mission Directorate an email: . Let's name prominent features for him and Tenzing Norgay on Mercury. It's ALL about exploration.

Under a HURCON declaration all normal operations stop to prepare for the storm, according to NASA. As a privately- funded partnership of research organizations, universities, and industry, Project Blue seeks support from the global community of space science enthusiasts and aims to provide opportunities to take part in space exploration throughout the entire mission life cycle.
On Wednesday, September 6, 2. Boldly. Go Institute launched a crowdfunding campaign to help support the initial design phase of mission development. The organization hopes to raise a minimum of $1. Indie. Go. Go campaign to help carry out the CORE program to establish detailed requirements for the mission, design the initial system architecture, run computer simulations to test how robust the design is for detecting exoplanets, and engage with potential industry partners who could manufacture components of the mission. National Laboratory Research, CASIS.
The mission patch represents all payloads intended for the International Space Station (ISS) U. Naples 44 (2017) Download Ipod. S. National Laboratory in calendar year 2. CASIS is the organization that oversees research on the ISS U.
S. National Laboratory benefitting life on Earth. Yet NASA pays 9. 9. CASIS' budget - year after year. Its almost as if CASIS wants you to think that they built and now operate the space station - not NASA.
As to their latest logo, I totally understand the interest in wanting to reach a broader audience. But CASIS seems to be obsessed with things like this - almost as much as they avoid mentioning NASA. First there was their strange fascination with co- branding golf research on the ISS - research that never actually happened with the exception of some golf clubs that claimed to be . Then they made . Now there's a . CASIS never answers my questions on things like this. So I file FOIA requests.
I have a lot of stuff received via FOIA that I have been analyzing and hope to publish soon. In a nutshell CASIS just makes this stuff up as they go. They have no strategic plan and have virtually no means of collecting and analyzing metrics from things such as these Sci Fi mission patches.
If CASIS cannot determine if these things have a real value (one that can be expressed in numbers) then why does CASIS continue to do these things? How many Twitter impressions and social media mentions have these logos created? How many people first learned of the ISS as a result of these logos? How many business partners came to CASIS as a result of these logos? How much employee time has CASIS put into the development and use of these logos? Again, its great when CASIS, who only has money because NASA pays 9. But when they have no way to determine if an approach even works, you have to wonder if they truly understand how any of their NASA- funded efforts have actually, tangible,concrete results that represent a worthy return on investment for taxpayer dollars.
Below is just a small sample of all of the missteps that CASIS has made. More soon. A Closer Look At The CASIS . You have to wonder if the PR people at CASIS even bother to think about how to best inform the public of what they are doing. Alas NASA is there too - as @NASASocial - at the Marvel booth - and neither @NASASocial or @ISS. Apparently CASIS thinks that Groot, a giant tree man thing, and a foul- mouthed raccoon are better poised to explain ISS science than ISS scientists. So - the movie director whose characters are being featured refers to .
Meanwhile NASA makes no mention of this news and NASA is never mentioned in the CASIS press release. Yet news stories say that NASA is behind all of this. NASA only gets the credit from third parties - and when they get mention it is factually mangled. Nice job CASIS. That's pathetically small. NASA. gov blasts that out every second.
Indeed, the website you are reading does that traffic in a matter of days. CASIS also seeks to have 1. Twitter followers by the end of FY 2.
By comparison @NASAWatch and @space. Ref have more than 1.
Other space websites have many more followers. Indeed @NASA has nearly 2.
At yesterday's ISS R& D Conference (sponsored by CASIS) everyone was moaning about how the public does not know what the ISS is doing.

Even climate change alarmists admit that the number of hurricanes hitting the U. S. But here's what we absolutely know. We know that Oklahoma will have tornadoes when the cold jet stream meets the warm gulf air.
And we also know that this President spends 3. For this gross misallocation, the people of Oklahoma are ready to accept the President's apology, and I intend to submit legislation to fix this. We can only do the best we can with what we know and if we are so hard pressed on believing that the earth is warming because of my Buick, then we can find evidence to prove that theory correct.
But we can also find evidence that the earth has gone through cycles on hot and cold and gee... This is the same with all types of science. We can prove that oil fracking can rejuvenate the crust and make the surface flourish if we look for that evidence instead of pointing fingers at the oil companies. But of course this all comes down to what makes sensational news or if you are taking a position of defending your business model or political policies. Nelson, a Democrat, said in a statement on Friday. Nelson to say that a politician cannot be an effective NASA Administrator especially when Nelson, a professional politician, overtly used his position - as a politician - to force NASA to give him a ride into outer space.
