Eli may be h...Does Eli keep up with the old posts?<br /><br />Eli may be happy to learn that Obama Listens(tm) and has included $ for EPIC and NISTAR in his FY2014 budget request.<br /><br />So if it survives congress and sequester, the instruments may yet fly.<br /><br />Also worth noting that Obama agrees with others that, if you want something to fly, you need to give it to NASA, and has returned Landsat (from USGS) and the climate sensors (from NOAA) to NASA.<br /><br />-HAUS.MAUSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-62416535211434910672013-02-05T20:08:04.325-05:002013-02-05T20:08:04.325-05:00If they don't intend to fly this mission and t...If they don't intend to fly this mission and these instruments then they should sell it to someone who can, and will. NOAA and NASA aren't the only game in town anymore, and they are rapidly losing relevance.<br /><br />And the decadal surveys are point blank laughable.

So we need a Kickstarter, and a Petition the White House to create a DeathStar at L-1.<br /><br />Then the Administration can back off the supporters by talking them down, building a PeaceStar instead. <br /><br />Start a parallel drive to build it for the purpose of giving us a glimpse of God's view of the Creation (the important part, us) for better improving our creation care.<br /><br />Just gotta pick allies with some leverage.<br /><br />Hank Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521410755553979665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-13423543784124899822013-02-01T23:19:02.896-05:002013-02-01T23:19:02.896-05:00I'm sure Congressman Smith and his buddies wil...I'm sure Congressman Smith and his buddies will bring it up at their next space, science and technology hearing.
