House Hearings on NASA coming up

The House Science, Space, and Technology Committee plans to have a full
committee hearing on NASA's Human Spaceflight programs. Among those on the
witness list: Neil Armstrong, Capt. Gene Cernan (USN,ret) and former NASA
Administrator Mike Griffin.

Given the Senate's anger over perceived Administration foot-dragging
SLS, this one will be a doozy.

Give me Buzz, or give me death!

"Buzz is right, sir! One of those God-damned things tried to bite my
head off when we were up on the Moon!" ;-)

I love how half of the cases assume "Escalation after FY2017". And even
with the assumed budget increase, the flight rate looks to be once per
year from 2018 through 2026. If I'm reading the charts right, the
program costs from FY12 through FY25 would be $21 billion to $34 billion
for 4 to 11 SLS flights.

Even writing off development costs gives a "best case" per flight cost
of about $1.5 billion. This is from Case 4a which has about $3 billion
in SLS costs per year spread over two SLS launches each year.
