Presidential Debate Produces Focus On Space Policy - Contact The Candidates Now!
Since the Space Debate that took place at the recent Mars Society convention in Boulder on August 14th, there has been an unprecedented amount of discussion about space policy coming from the candidates and their campaigns. While this sudden flurry of space support is indicative of how tight this race has become, it is also a tremendous opportunity for the space community to make sure that humans to Mars will become the official policy of an Obama or McCain administration.
Remember, in the year 2000, George W. Bush won the election by a few hundred votes in Florida. Your opinion and your vote do matter.
