Supporters Ask Congress For Funding And More Direction For
NASA
The Space Exploration Alliance
(SEA), the nation's largest coalition of non-profit space advocacy
groups, is poised for its annual visit to Capitol Hill where
members will embody the broad public support for human space
exploration. SEA members will be meeting with over 100
Congressional members and staff between February 21 - 23, one of
the most ambitious campaigns since the inception of the annual SEA
events in 2004.
"As we head into 2010, our members will make clear that space
exploration is a national priority and that the economic and
technological impact to our Nation are vast, " said Rick Zucker,
Chairman of the Space Exploration Alliance Blitz. "We must fully
fund NASA with an eye toward the future and make sure NASA
continues to explore."
"This is the most important SEA Blitz since our founding event
in 2004," said SEA Steering Committee Chairman, Chris Carberry.
"While the new space plan has some extremely worthy goals, it needs
more definition. We plan to urge Congress, NASA, and the
Administration to strengthen the plan by adding ambitious timelines
for achieving its goals and making sure that there are worthy
destinations for the United States space program."
Co-organized by the National Space Society and SEA, the bliz
will bring members from around the country to Washington to address
the newly-released NASA budget. This fifth annual event for
SEA will include discussion on important issues such as the future
of human spaceflight, entrepreneurial solutions to space needs, the
use of research and development to enable new technologies, and the
need for NASA to choose destinations for humans to travel to beyond
low-earth orbit.
