"Biden administration picks Kamala Harris to head National Space Council, touts her as ‘perfect person’ to lead US space policy"
https://www.rt.com/usa/522716-nasa-kama ... l-perfect/

Since Kamala Harris is likely to play an important role in the USA's politics for a while I figured she deserves her own thread.

Well judging by how marvelously she has handled the border situation her being around for a few years will not be a good thing.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]White House unveils 'Space Priorities Framework' as VP Kamala Harris leads first space council meeting
The first National Space Council of the Biden administration is meeting on Wednesday, with Vice President Kamala Harris set to outline the White House's approach to space policy.

The White House released a document called the "United States Space Priorities Framework," which gives an overview of how the administration plans "to develop and implement national space policy and strategy going forward."

The framework emphasizes that the U.S. seeks to promote and protect the "data, products, and services from space" that "enable American businesses and create American jobs" in a variety of economic sectors.

The first National Space Council of the Biden administration is meeting on Wednesday, with Vice President Kamala Harris set to outline the White House's approach to space policy.

Revived after two decades under the previous presidency, the National Space Council met eight times during the prior administration and often came alongside executive orders such as returning U.S. astronauts to the moon, cleaning up space debris, and making use of space resources.

With Harris leading Wednesday's meeting, the White House released a document called the "United States Space Priorities Framework," which gives an overview of how the Biden administration plans "to develop and implement national space policy and strategy going forward."

The framework emphasizes that the U.S. seeks to promote and protect the "data, products, and services from space" that "enable American businesses and create American jobs in sectors as varied as manufacturing, transportation, logistics, agriculture, finance, and communications."

Additionally, the framework says the U.S. wants to openly distribute "Earth observation data" to "support both domestic and international efforts to address the climate crisis." Similarly, the White House document says it is transferring "space situational awareness information" services "to an open data platform" that will be hosted by a U.S. agency to improve spaceflight safety.

The increasing risk from space debris, as well as military activities in space, are two top-of-mind issues following the Russian test of an anti-satellite weapon (or ASAT) last month. The Russian military destroyed a defunct satellite, showering low Earth orbit with shrapnel and causing astronauts to shelter on the International Space Station as the debris cloud passed by. While U.S. officials condemned the test, Russia has yet to face anything more than a harsh rebuke for the demonstration.

The White House framework says the U.S. aims to "strengthen its ability to detect and attribute hostile acts in space." But, in terms of consequences for other nations that perform military tests in orbit, for now the U.S. "will engage diplomatically with strategic competitors in order to enhance stability in outer space."

President Biden is also expected to sign an executive order on Wednesday to add five members to the National Space Council: Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, Secretary of Labor Martin Walsh, Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, and National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy.

Can it get any worse?

From Clinton (sexual predator) to Bush (War-monger) to Obama (Climate criminal and race hustler) to Trump (all around buffoon and megalomaniac) to Biden (senile old fool, serial liar) and total incompetent we've had very bad luck in our last five presidents.

Now Kamala is being groomed to be the next president. Her main qualification to be VP, at least according to Joe Biden, was that she is a woman of color.

She's clearly way over her head just trying to be Vice President.

God help us all if she becomes president.


First the Ds inflicted senile old and incompetent Joe Biden on the country. Next they plan to hand the country over to Kamala. What could go wrong with this latest great idea from the Ds?

Sheesh!

Kamala & Space
Idiocracy at its best.

I'm waiting for the Democrats to realize that the present teem is heading them for a drubbing in 2022 that will last through several elections after that.
Then a panic will ensue while they look for a few plausible replacement candidates that will appeal to independent voters (44% of the electorate) while not totally turning off their far left base.
I can not come up with a single name that might fill that bill.

The Supreme court may hand Kamala and the rest of the Democrats a huge weapon by overturning Roe.VS. Wade sometime between now and June. That one issue will be a deal breaker for millions of independent women.
I for one am tired of losing elections over this issue. The Republicans should let it be as long as every Republican woman is free to choose not to have an abortion.

Having three grown and successful daughters I see trying to take back rights the American woman have won as a losing proposition and one sure to have you sleeping out doors.
Meanwhile Joe's cough is getting worse. Nothing to worry about, the White house assures us.
Kamala may not be measuring the Oval office curtains just yet but I'll bet she has the measuring tape in her purse.

You are delusional about the abilities of American women. There is no job out there they can not do as well and often better then the men around them.
One of my daughters operated cranes for the US army in Kuwait.
The days of brute muscle being how the job gets done are long past.
As to the Latino wives letting their husbands control them while they push out a baby every year you better think again as they see this as much less then they can have by joining their white sisters on the career path. They may be uneducated but they are not stupid.

I have a loose list of heroes or at least people I admire, some historic, some I know. One day I figured out that is was predominately women.

Harris and Hillary are not on that list.
