As of January 8, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is now the chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Space, Science and Competitiveness for the 114th Congress. This will allow Cruz to regulate funding for NASA and other science programs. This news is particularly disturbing given the Senator’s appalling track record when it comes to NASA and science.
Cruz addressed the Subcommittee on Science and Space in April 2013, and made the case for funding in space ventures.
