Musk remains on Advisory Council

Look for space to be mentioned on the 28 Feb 2017 joint session of Congress and for it to point to space based power and making humanity a multi-planet species as critical issues for the Trump administration. |

You can look for it but don't hold your breath because Trump has a lot more things to worry about than that right now. Expect to hear about cabinet appointments, Supreme Court Justices, and immigration and trade. -- "Some people get lost in thought because it's such unfamiliar territory." --G. Behn |

Good lord, another MookJacker!
Mezei, if you want to discuss paranoid delusions of Butthurt Snowflakes, please start a new thread for it. JF Mezei wrote: On 2017-02-03 20:04, Fred J.

Expect to hear about cabinet appointments, Supreme Court Justices, and immigration and trade. There are two ways to deal with such a situation: remain under the radar and hope the govt continues on same course because it is busy elsewhere. Or get involved to make sure the government doesn't hurt you. It isn't clear yet whether Trump exists in his own island doing what he wants, or whether the Republican party exerts any control over him. In the past, Boeing, ATK etc worked wonders by lobbying congressman/senators. ATK remained in the subsidy loop after Shuttle went away etc. If Congressman/Senators are now out of the decision loop because Trump makes all decisions, then Musk may have the winning formula by having free access to the president by being on some committee. -- "Some people get lost in thought because it's such unfamiliar territory." --G.

Bull****. Jeff -- All opinions posted by me on Usenet News are mine, and mine alone. These posts do not reflect the opinions of my family, friends, employer, or any organization that I am a member of. Pithy response, yet fundamentally wrong in every detail. The Trump administration has restored the national space council; http://spacenews.com/babin-backs-pen...space-council/ giving the nation a high level strategic direction again. President Trump has met with Musk and Hewson, both companies have discussed human presence on Mars in the near term; http://spacenews.com/elon-musk-meets-with-donald-trump/ http://www.space.com/34234-spacex-ma...e-numbers.html http://www.popsci.com/lockheed-marti...mars-base-camp Trump has called for a joint session of Congress on February 28 this year to discuss important national needs. This is the same tactic used by Eisenhower when he formed NASA, by Kennedy when he announced sending men to the moon and returning them safely to the Earth, by Reagan when he announced the Strategic Defense Initiative. So, there is a likelihood that Trump will announce a long term strategic vision for the future, with short term practical benefit to the nation. This includes; (1) NASA support of commercialisation of chemical rocket technologies that support (a) peaceful ballistic terrestrial transport of packages and people, (b) peaceful transport to orbit and back, (i) orbital hotels, (ii) orbital communications, (iii) orbiting power systems, (iv) orbital sensing, (c) cislunar orperations, (d) inner solar system operations, (2) NASA research to develop (a) outer solar system manned presence by 2030 (b) near interstellar probes by 2030 (c) survey of planetary systems out to 10,000 light years by 2030 (3) Long term development of; (a) commercialisation of outer solar system resources, by 2050 (b) manned presence to nearby stars, by 2050 (c) probes to stars beyond 50 light years, by 2050 (d) commercilisation of nearby stars by 2100, (e) manned presence to stars beyond 50 light years by 2100 |

Musk is likely to be turfed off that advisory council in short order.
SpaceX and Tesla are fighting Trump's immigration ban. Trump doesn't take kindly to non-adulation. |

You really are clueless, aren't you? Have you looked at his cabinet picks? He's not going to find a lot of 'adulation' there. -- "Some people get lost in thought because it's such unfamiliar territory." --G. Behn |
