Senators rap Pentagon’s delay on China report

All right stop collaborate and listen
The Senate’s back and they’re ready in session
China grabs a hold of ‘em tightly
Committees got issues daily and nightly
Will it ever show? yo I don’t know
Give us the report and we’ll glow
Needin’ the facts to make good decisions
Shouldn’t be hard, cause it ain’t cell division

Oh not that kind of rap?

Never mind.

Senate Authorizers Move NASA Away From Commercial Space

Senate authorizers have taken the administration’s etch-a-sketch for NASA, turned it upside down, and shaken (not stirred) violently.

Granted it’s only an authorization bill and it hasn’t been sent to the full Senate, reconciled, or signed into law.  However…it will have legs.

The biggest deal in the near-years is it halves the Obama request for commercial space.

Senators Rap War Effort

From the WSJ

All right stop collaborate and listen
The Senate’s back with a new inquisition
Funding grabs a hold of us tightly
Staffers flow in daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don’t know
Turn off the lights and I’ll glow
To testify I rock a mike like a vandal
Light up committee and wax the chair like a candle

Oh, not that kind of rap?  Never mind.
