Tea Party's Final Frontier: Save Space Programs

Perhaps sending the tea party movement into outer space might sound like a skit by Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart. But the Tea Party in Space is a real grass-roots organization with a very serious objective: Restoring U.S. leadership in space exploration and settlement, while reining in budget-busting aerospace programs they say are costing taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. Barely had the Tea Party in Space launched itself than it became embroiled in the growing battle over the development of America’s next launch vehicle, known as the Space Launch System (SLS). The SLS was supposed provide a system by 2016 that would replace the now defunct Space Shuttle. But NASA administrators have already admitted the soonest the SLS could be ready to go would be 2021. Gasser believes the real problem isn’t NASA or its dedicated engineers or scientists. He says NASA is handcuffed by powerful members of Congress -- Republicans and Democrats -- who are more interested in winning single-source contracts for their friends than in seeing fair competition to develop the best, most efficient launch vehicles. But it also states: “It also has been brought to our attention some of our colleagues have written to Administrator Bolden requesting NASA conduct a competition for the booster portion of the SLS. Since the legal requirements for the SLS can only be realistically met through the use of solid rocket motors, we welcome a competition once the initial SLS flight testing is completed.” Newsmax contacted the offices of several senators, and one confirmed the letter is genuine. Asked to explain why they invite competition to begin once the system has already been spent, a congressional source said the senators are merely reminding Bolden that the law authorizing the SLS program specified that the SLS launch vehicle should be based on systems already under development in the previous programs.
