Author's note: You have your chance to make recommendations to members of this Committee that is currently evaluating the future of manned spaceflight activities in the United States and, specifically evaluating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Whether your comments are good or bad, you, as citizens of the United States, have the right to make your comments known because your money is going to the operations of NASA.
And, I'm sure NASA would welcome comments from citizens of other countries, too. Especially with NASA partnering these days with many countries around the world in manned and unmanned space activities.
