Neil Armstrong’s Sons, Director Damien Chazelle Defend Absence of Flag-Planting Scene in ‘First Man’ In other words, the film makers are doubling down on stupid. Instead of apologizing for the slight and offering to fix it, they are lecturing people who were affronted by the omission of the flag raising that they are the problem.

I just got word that Paul Spudis has died. I never met him in person, but we exchanged numerous emails as he encouraged me in my opinion writing in support of a return to the moon. He was one of the world’s leading experts in lunar geology and the use of the moon’s resources to facilitate space exploration. He was a passionate advocate for lunar exploration and thus will be sorely missed. My condolences to his wife Anne and his family and friends. Now the return to the moon becomes a monument to his memory.

The significance of Vice President Mike Pence’s recent speech at the Johnson Spaceflight Center was not that it made any new news, but the fact that it was made at all. One of the failings of the deep space exploration programs of both presidents Bush was that, after the initial speeches that announced them, going back to the moon and on to Mars were hardly mentioned at all. President Trump, to his credit, rarely makes a campaign speech without mentioning NASA, not to mention his proposed Space Force.

Space race 2.0: A low-down on the great flight

One of my favorite stories about John McCain, the larger than life war hero and American original, concerns an incident that took place when he was being held captive in the Hanoi Hilton. One of the ways the North Vietnamese tortured the American prisoners was to subject them to speeches being given by antiwar activists denouncing them and the United States efforts in South East Asia.

However, one day, the exercise backfired. The speech had a line, McCain later recalled, that went like, “We can put a man on the moon but Nixon can’t end the Vietnam War.”

The slight detail that Americans had landed on the moon had been kept from the American pilots. The accidental revelation caused a sensation and an up swelling of pride and patriotism. At least that one day, for those brutalized and tortured men, was a good day.

Senator, I understand that sentiment perfectly. Here is hoping that your afterlife is the end of all woe and struggle and that bliss be your measure forever more.

My latest from the Hill: Entering the dawn of commercial human spaceflight

"-the dawn of commercial human spaceflight is at last drawing nigh. Much of the perception that the United States has lost its space leadership stems from the fact that, since the last space shuttle mission in 2011, American astronauts have had to hitch rides with the Russians. Russia, under Vladimir Putin, has increasingly become a hostile foreign power, placing at risk the space partnership first forged in the 1990s. When Americans start flying American-made spacecraft from American soil, a lot of policymakers will breathe easier. American access to space will no longer be held hostage to the whims of the Kremlin.

Napoleon slips away from St. Helena, having been substituted with a double,
with the intention of going to Paris, overthrowing the Bourbons again, and
plunging Europe into war a third time. Things do not go as planned, obviously,
but Napoleon finds out the old adage that sometimes God will not get you what
you want, but may grant you what you need.

Recently, the Senate Subcommittee on Science, Space, and Competitiveness, chaired by Sen Ted Cruz (R-Texas) held a hearing on “Putting American Boots on the Surface of the Red Planet.” According to Space Policy Online, the committee doesn't agree with NASA’s space exploration priorities.

President Donald Trump and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine have stated that America is going back to the moon. Cruz and Democrats Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass) and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Florida) argue it should be Mars that NASA concentrates on. The moon, if it should be visited at all, should not be allowed to interfere with the Mars goal.
