This is becoming a really interesting week.
First day of the tenth annual 'March Storm' on Capitol Hill organized by ProSpace is going real well. In a blessing of fortunate timing, 'Stormers' are able to add encouragement for passage of the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004 on the House floor this Thursday. The bill will establish a regulatory environment which will enable the growth of a commercial human spaceflight industry.

While not a part of the ProSpace agenda, the buzz picked up from some Hill staffers is that there is a serious effort afoot to save the Hubble Space Telescope from early demise. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, NASA is set to announce 'significant findings' from Mars Tuesday afternoon.
