								"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."&nbsp;― Winston Churchill
								Even though I'm generally known to be a pretty optimistic guy, I don't mind telling you that my nerves were a bit frayed as the countdown clocked neared T-minus-zero for the&nbsp;29th National Space Symposium.&nbsp;As you'll know by now if you attended the event, and as you...]]></description>

			There are many variations on the famous Mark Twain "report of my death" quote, so let me set the record straight. Twain penned the original note in May 1897 and it reads thusly:
			"James Ross Clemens, a cousin of mine, was seriously ill two or three weeks ago, in London, but is well now.
			"The report of my illness grew out of his illness, the report of my death was an exaggeration."
			It's an instructive short course in how rumor mills work, and how people get misquoted. And...]]></description>

				Happy New Year -- unless you observe the Chinese or Gregorian calendars -- and welcome to 2013, a year in which we can expect to see a continued realigning of the stars where space programs, policies and organizations are concerned.
			
				While 2012 was a year of mixed results in our industry, it certainly ended with some terrific, upbeat news: the passing of the FY 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, which included language substantively repealing the satellite...]]></description>

				In our youth-obsessed American culture, turning 30 can be a traumatic change-of-life event. I was curiously unaffected by turning 30, although&nbsp;I will admit that I was oddly unsettled by attaining the unremarkable age of 32. Since then, I've come to realize that 30 represents a tremendous coming-of-age milestone, when your best years still lie ahead and your youthful vigor is marvelously paired with a maturity and, one hopes, a modicum of well-earned wisdom and...]]></description>

				If there's one important thing that a&nbsp;focused, optimistic and sustainable&nbsp;space exploration program can uniquely contribute to society right now, it is a sense of optimism that has long been missing in our media, our classrooms and the dimly-lit corridors of government.

Stratcom Could Ink International Data Sharing Pacts

Today, 11:48 AM


The White House is looking to give U.S. Strategic Command (Stratcom) the authority to negotiate orbital data sharing agreements with other nations as part of a broader effort to ensure safety of operations in the increasingly congested space environment, a senior U.S. Defense Department official said. Ambassador Gregory Schulte, deputy assistant secretary of defense for space policy, also said the United States and...]]></description>

On Nov. 10, Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, the co-chairmen of President Barack Obama's deficit reduction commission, released a plan to cut $3.8 trillion from the budget by limiting spending and overhauling the tax code.
On the face of it, one would think this a good idea. The last time the U.S. federal government balanced its budget was when Rep. Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House, circa 1995 to 1999. One can...]]></description>

Like the famous truism that characterizes pornography as something "you can't define, but you'll know it when you see it," the word "innovation" is being volleyed about the space industry today as some kind of generic panacea for lean, difficult, underfunded times.
Certainly there is an element of truth in the notion, especially if we embrace another truism, "necessity is the mother of invention."

Former Space Foundation Chairman of the Board the Honorable Jaime Oaxaca frequently encouraged us to test our plans and intentions against our mission statement and strategic plan, saying: "If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." Sadly, this seems to be precisely the modus operandi of the Obama White House when it comes to civil space.
