A couple of officials will be speaking tomorrow on the NASA budget and space policy in Washington. NASA administrator Mike Griffin will be the speaker at a National Space Club luncheon, his first public speech since the budget was released Monday. “[I]t is anticipated that Dr. Griffin’s comments will address this important topic,” the announcement notes. Yeah, probably a safe bet. That lunch will come after a Space Transportation Association breakfast Thursday morning featuring Richard Russell, associate director of OSTP. Russell will be speaking about “Government’s Role in Commercial Space Transportation”, a timely topic since the breakfast will immediately precede the opening of the FAA’s Commercial Space Transportation Conference. If you go to both, keep in mind that it will set you back a combined $135.
