A senator and a former astronaut both advocate killing NASA's
involvment in supporting commercial space.

I predicted right in this NG that this would happen and that Boeing and
L-M are probably behind it. Both feel threatened by SpaceX and are now
blatantly ordeirng their paid cronies in Congress to pass legislation
that would kill them.

In case you haven't noticed, Boeing's a Commercial crew contender. And
an Apollo vet and the Chair of House Science and Technology Committee
ought to shut up just because they oppose the over-emphasis on
commercial space that the Administration is peddling? In case you
haven't noticed: that particular Congressman has a very powerful
position as a committee chair, and the Administration ought to listen
to what he has to say if they want continued commercial crew funding.
That's D.C.: "The Administration proposes, but Congress disposes."
