Coming up at #GLEX2021
The presentation went by too fast to tweet, but as for when China might land ppl on the Moon, CNSA's Wu Yanhua said they don't have a date for that. Focus now for HSF is Tianhe space station. For moon, for next decade focus is robotic expl.
Intl Lunar Research Station (ILRS) is Russian/Chinese program, but follows China's usual 3-phase construct.
Phase 1, 2021-2025: Reconnaissance
Phase 2, 2026-2035: Construction
Phase 3, after 2036: Utilization.
The human missions are in Phase 3. All phases open to intl coop.
They showed an English-language video laying out the fundamental elements of ILRS. Hopefully that will get posted on the Web somewhere.

Full cmte chairman Peter DeFazio (D-OR) says he's doesn't want air travel disrupted by billionaires who want to experience 15 minutes of weightlessness. [Because airlines have to avoid launch/reentry area. He's expressed these views before.]
DeFazio also says he's concerned some in industry want another extension to the "learning period" that expires in 2023. It prohibits FAA from promulgating addl passenger safety regulations for cmrcl spaceflight. [Right now companies must only get a customer's informed consent.]
Monteith (FAA/AST): will continue to assess our regulatory framework and work w/Congress and industry to strike appropriate balance and get right regulations with right scope at right time.

Van Hollen: Goddard and Wallops (which operates under Goddard's management) have several "shovel ready" projects. Need investment.
Nelson: your bridge is number one on the list. Jobs bill is opportunity for $ for infrastructure and R&D.
Van Hollen: STEM is one of your priorities, yes?
Nelson: yes. FY2022 request is "robust."
Sen Boozman (R-Arkansas): plan for office of STEM Engagement? Continue support for Arkansas Space Grant Consortium?
Nelson: this budget has $20M plus up for STEM, which you in Congress saved after previous attempts to zero it out.

Hearing is starting. Sbcmte Chair Sen Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) points out New Hampshire is also a space station. Alan Shepard and Christa McAuliffe were from NH; U of NH has highly regarded heliophysics program; etc.
Shaheen: this budget steps up commitment to Earth science, sustainable aviation, science. Artemis: NASA blaming Congress for need to choose only a contractor "really rings hollow."
Shaheen: a lot on your plate, Mr. Administrator, and we are ready to work with you.

LTG Stephen Whiting tells committee DOD supports shifting non-military space traffic management to Dept of Commerce. [Specifically, Dept of Commerce, not to "civilian agency" as DOD folks often say.]
State Dept's Jonathan Moore (OES): Biden-Harris Admin has charged us to explore the use of outer space to the benefit of humanity and ensure safety, stability and security of outer space activities. Artemis Accords are our commitment to principles of Outer Space Treaty.
Moore: but geopolitical challenges. Some countries will work with us to establish and adhere to standards of safe and responsible behavior, others will not. OES keeping very close eye on Russia and China

Rep Don Beyer (D-VA), Sen John Hickenlooper (D-CO), chairs of the H and S space subcommittees; Bhavya Lal, NASA Acting Chf of Staff; Ellen Stofan, Under Sec for Sci and Research, Smithsonian
Stofan (who was NASA Chf Sci few yrs ago): re NASA and Earth sci research, need to reflect on how much NASA has done already, but renewed emphasis on climate in Biden Admin. Priorities set out in Decadal Survey. Use data to understand climate change and make us resilient to it.
Stofan: beyond Earth, incredibly exciting how close we are to answering the question of "are we alone." That's why #NASAPerseverance #Ingenuity are there. Europa, Enceladus, Titan, JWST coming up. Not govt v cmrcl, it's "everybody on deck," a global effort.
