…even in space. A view of the disastrous House NASA authorization bill from left.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day…
Not as snazzy as that other site you linked.
Interesting how they rattle off a bunch of big bad corporations and are arguing for more big corporations.
Seriously? Is that a piece from The Onion? How can they keep a straight face when they repeat lines like these:
“Yes We Can (Even in Space) is dedicated to one goal – advocating good liberal/progressive space policy. And the best way we get achieve that is by rejecting the failed Bush Constellation program, or any watered-down Constellation derivatives, and embracing the Obama space plan.”
Michael, it’s pretty obvious that the same people made both sites.. I recently heard someone advocating exactly this strategy, so I expect he’s responsible – but even if I knew, what good would this knowledge be?

Umm feel free to edit my previous post if that was too much information.
To both Wodun and M. Gersch: the President advocated for major changes in space policy in the 2008 campaign and is standing by that platform and the Augustine Commission report.
There are many liberally-oriented folks who agree with this position.
As for corporations . . . where’s your problem? We seek to replace the old-space model of one monopolistic contractor feeding at a trough while we spin in orbit, going nowhere, to a more open model using competition to determine the winners, and open near-Earth space to real economic development.
There are conservatives and liberals on both sides of this struggle.
Obama doesn’t really have a plan, it changes from speech to speech. To me it looks like a scaled down version of Constellation without any of the rockets or lofty goals.
Using private corporations to service the ISS was set in motion years before Obama took office.
The part of the linked website that I found funny was demonizing one set of big corporations while advocating for another set of big corporations, as if one big corporation is somehow morally superior to the other.
