    A SpacePolicyOnline.Com Hearing Summary Confirmation of Charles Bolden and Lori Garver to be Administrator and Deputy Administrator of NASA Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee July 8, 2009 Chair: Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) Ranking Member: Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) Witnesses Maj. Gen. Charles Bolden (USMC, Ret.), nominee for Administrator (prepared statement) Ms. Lori Garver, nominee for Deputy Administrator (prepared statement) Background NASA has had an Acting Administrator, Christopher Scolese, since the resignation of Michael Griffin on January 20, 2009 with the change in administrations. The Deputy Administrator position has been vacant since January also, when Shana Dale resigned. Gen. Bolden and Ms. Garver were nominated by President Obama to be Administrator and Deputy Administrator on May 23, 2009. Gen. Bolden is a former NASA astronaut who flew on a space shuttle mission with now-Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) who was a congressman from Florida at the time. Ms. Garver has a broad background in space – from representing grass roots space enthusiasts as executive director of the National Space Society, to serving at NASA at Associate Administrator for Policy during the tenure of Administrator Dan Goldin, to representing private sector space efforts as a consultant for the past eight years. She competed with singer Lance Bass to become a “space tourist” on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in the early 2000’s, but neither was able to raise the requisite funding. She was a key adviser to the Hillary Clinton campaign on space issues, and moved to the Obama campaign after he won the Democratic nomination. A webcast of the hearing is available here.

  • Remarks for International Space Development Conference Shana Dale Deputy Administrator National Aeronautics and Space Administration
    Remarks for International Space Development Conference Shana Dale Deputy Administrator National Aeronautics and Space Administration May 5, 2006 Thank you Hugh (Hugh Downs, Chairman of the Board of Governors and an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors for the National Space Society) for that very gracious introduction. It is indeed a great honor to be introduced by a gentleman who is a universally respected leader in the space community, and who also had the distinction as NBC Today Show host of broadcasting the drama of the first great era of lunar exploration. And Hugh, I can’t wait for you to be able to provide expert commentary the next time an American astronaut renews the exploration of the moon. Thanks again Hugh for the honor of speaking today. I’m excited to be here today and to be speaking to a group that is enthusiastic about space exploration and the endless possibilities that it promises. Another reason for my enthusiasm is the diversity that is represented here in the form of different 1 backgrounds and professional fields, from scientists, entrepreneurs, business people, broadcasters, government representatives, academics and many others all linked by a passion for space exploration and a drive to make space our own. I just met with a group of space entrepreneurs yesterday, many of whom are in the audience, and it was impossible to walk away from that meeting with anything but the utmost respect at the commitment these individuals are making in their quest for space. They are risking their lives and fortunes to do something extremely complex and yes, dangerous.

  • Fact Sheet Final Issue: January 16, 2020 NASA's FY2020 BUDGET
    Fact Sheet Final Issue: January 16, 2020 NASA’S FY2020 BUDGET REQUEST SUMMARY On December 20, 2019, President Trump signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act (H. R. 1185, P.L. 116-93), which includes the FY2020 Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS) appropriations bill that funds NASA. The law provides $22.629 billion for NASA, very close to the amended request of $22.616 billion, although how the money is to be spent is different than requested. The amended request was composed of $21.019 billion requested on March 11, 2019, plus a supplemental request on May 13 for $1.6 billion to fund the Artemis program to accelerate the return of astronauts to the Moon by four years – from 2028 to 2024. The original request on March 11 for $21.019 billion was a cut of $481 million from the FY2019 enacted level of $21.500 billion. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, other NASA officials, and text in NASA’s budget documentation characterized it as an increase in funding, even though it was a reduction. To create their narrative, they compared it to how much Trump requested for FY2019, not how much was appropriated by Congress. Just two weeks later, however, Vice President Pence directed NASA to accelerate its plans to return astronauts to the Moon, resulting in the supplemental request on May 13. • The House Appropriations Committee reported its CJS bill, H.R. 3055, on May 22, 2019 (H. Rept. 116-101). It passed the House on June 25, 2019 after three other appropriations bills were added to it creating a package referred to as “Minibus 2.” The House bill funded NASA at $22.315 billion, an increase of $815 million over FY2019; $1.296 billion more than the original (March 11) budget request; and $300 million less than the amended (May 13) request.

All rights reserved. 32nd IAA SYMPOSIUM ON SPACE POLICY, REGULATIONS AND ECONOMICS (E3) 50 Years After Apollo 11: The Future of Space Exploration and Innovation (2) WOMEN IN EXPLORATION: LESSONS FROM THE PAST AS HUMANITY REACHES DEEP SPACE Ms. Shanessa Jacksona, Dr. Patricia Knezek b*, Mrs. Denise Silimon-Hill c*, Ms. Alexandra Cross d* a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) / Stellar Solutions Inc, United States, [email protected] b NASA, United States, [email protected], c Stellar Solutions Inc., United States, [email protected] d Stellar Solutions, United States, [email protected] * Corresponding Author Abstract Since the 19th century, women have been making strides in advancing technology by performing essential work in areas like coding, computing, programming and space travel, despite the challenges they have faced. In 1963, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to travel into space. Sally Ride joined NASA in 1978 and five years later she became the first female American astronaut to fly in space. Tereshkova and Ride's accomplishments profoundly impacted space exploration and paved the way for the dozens of other women who became astronauts, and the hundreds of thousands more who pursued careers in science and technology. These advancements have greatly affected science, technology and space travel, but women in exploration still have a long way to go. Social constructs and gender expectations have often discouraged women from pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and women who do pursue one of these paths are often faced with discrimination throughout their career.
