National Space Council Event Could Have Been Done As A Telecon

We're now hearing the nth iteration of the whole "let the private sector do XYZ in space and not the government" Yet all of the space companies still want the government to continue accepting the risk and paying the bills. #NSPC — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 21, 2018

The #NSPC meeting started late so it is ending 20 minutes early. All this hoopla, receptions, stop work in multiple buildings at KSC for photo ops and talking points. Now they are playing a Souza march as @VP runs to his plane. And #NASA TV just shut off. Wow, what a day. — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 21, 2018

Between yesterday's Bigelow announcement and today's #NSPC presentations China is simultaneously the greatest threat/competitor/potential partner for the U.S. in space. — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 21, 2018

Now @VP Pence is ticking of a very long list of space places that he has visited - an impressive list it is when compared to previous administrations - especially in only one year. #nspc — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 21, 2018

Yet another speaker talks about "winning the frontier of space" but @VP Pence says that America is leading in space again - so haven't we already won? Or do we need to keep winning? #nspc — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 21, 2018

Now @VP Pence is reminding everyone how, under President Trump "America is leading in space once again". But wait - what has @NASA done in the past year? Answer: what it was going to do anyway. — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) February 21, 2018
