lots of high visibility magazines.The email is slick, with nice portraits of the Axiom team the faces they apparently want investors, the public, and the news media to see.I am certain that everyone is highly skilled, etc.But as I scrolled down this very long email something struck me its all 5.After eight of their smiling faces scrolled by there was a single woman at the bottom of the list.Eight males, one female.I guess this is the optics that Axiom Space wants to put forward for their vision of the future human spaceflight.I asked Axiom about this.Amir Blackman replied Other than the two

decrease of suppliers throughout the supply chain.For example, one SRM manufacturer estimated a decrease in suppliers, from approximately 5,0.This increases the risk of production delays and disruptions in the event that key components and materials available from a single source become unavailable from that source.GAO found that DOD and industry are taking steps to identify and mitigate

a letter today to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Assistant Democratic Leader Patty Murray D WA urged her colleagues to oppose the nomination of Representative Jim Bridenstine R OK to serve as Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA.Keiths note Nearly all of this letter has to do with issues that have almost nothing to do with NASA.The incendiary quotes noted in Murrays letter were not even made by Bridenstine but instead by other people.Murray is not on the committee and is the only senator who has signed this letter.Meanwhile letters of support for Bridenstine are circulating in Congress and among industry representatives.The hearing will consider 4 nominees Bridenstine and three Commerce Department officials.As such the time for questions for each nominee will be limited.Sen.Nelson is expected to bring up environmental issues and question Bridenstines qualifications.Support from Sen.Cruz and Sen.Inhofe who will introduce Bridenstine is expected.There will also be support from Democratic members of the committee.In the end Bridenstine has the support and the votes to be confirmed by the Senate as the next Administrator of NASA.Categories Trump.Space.By Keith Cowing on October 2.PM.Comments Comments.Categories Trump.Space.By Keith Cowing on October 2.PM.Comments Comments.Categories
