If you can see it from orbit - it’s not a “spill”!

First things first, we need to frame this topic a little better.  Framing the debate is a tactic that, if done well can give a decided advantage to one side or the other.[1]  In this case the word “spill” has been used to describe this environmental catastrophe.  I believe this term has been used to trivialize the extent of the problem, to minimize public perception, and used as a delaying tactic.  I think that BP thinks that a “spill” can be ignored or covered up – like it was in Nigeria.[2]

A4H's very own Bruce Davis was among the select few invited to attend the Presidential Space Summit held at the NASA Kennedy Space Center on April 15, 2010.

While I am not directly involved in the wondrous work that takes place just a few miles from my front door that puts astronauts and satellites into space, I am very concerned.  Many of my friends, family members and clients earn their living by doing this work.  As a long-time resident of Brevard County and a property owner, I am concerne

There were so many rumors and stories last week in the news about what was to occur on Feb 1st when the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) released the President's Recommended budget for NASA for the 2011 Fiscal Year. I wrote my thoughts on course correcting our dreams to try and sum up where we were the weekend before the announcement and where I thought we needed to head.

For those of you who have been living under a rock this past week, Obama is recommending a major revectoring of NASA and the way manned spaceflight is conducted in our country. Here are some documents to peruse if you haven't seen them:
