  [据美国商业太空飞行网站2010年11月10日报道]美国商业太空飞行联盟于11月10日发布了一项措辞强烈的声明,反对联邦赤字委员会联席主席在当日提出的取消商业太空飞行计划的提议。商业太空联盟代表了全美雇佣了成千上万雇员的37家公司。

  商业太空飞行联盟主席布雷•亚历山大称:“该取消提议对于美国航空航天局(NASA)和美国本身将具有灾难性的后果。商业乘员计划现在代表着航天飞机退役后将美国宇航员送往国际空间站的主要手段。实际上,商业乘员计划将为美国纳税人节省大量的成本。取消商业乘员计划将会使美国完全依赖俄罗斯前往国际太空站,同时会失去成千上万的高技术工作职位”。

  亚历山大还补充:“取消NASA商业乘员计划的最终结果将是把载人太空飞行让给俄罗斯。商业乘员计划是缩减航天飞机退役后产生的运载能力缝隙的最快途径,可以使美国依赖于俄罗斯飞船座位的时间最小化。一些商业提供商已经公开承诺,与俄罗斯飞船相比,每一个座位将节省大量的成本。而且赤字委员会似乎对商业乘员计划的本质有误解。商业乘员计划是通过研发美国下一代航天器将宇航员送往国际空间站来满足本质上的国家需求。同时在政府之外,能更好的激励市场。而不是‘对私营部门的补贴’。实际上,对于美国纳税人来说是一种双赢”。

    亚历山大总结说:“2009年,一个由诺姆•奥古斯丁领导的独立最高荣誉委员会向奥巴马总统建议NASA与私营部门合作发展下一代载人航天器。从那时起,包括25名前航天员和14位诺贝尔奖获得者的多个团体都表示支持商业乘员计划。赤字委员会不能在这件事上大错特错,商业乘员计划对NASA来说是必不可少的”。(中国航天工程咨询中心 陈杰 许红英)http://www.dsti.net/Information/News/63383

MD到底怎么想的,载人航天都停了?
美国有技术却老是定不下来把人送上太空的载具,x-37也飞了
不是没有技术,是目的不明确,美日最近都有些朝令夕改的政策
八字还没有一撇,利益集团就已经这么嚣张了

Washington, D.C. – The Commercial Spaceflight Federation, representing 37 companies employing thousands of Americans nationwide, released a statement opposing in the strongest possible terms the “illustrative cut” to commercial spaceflight put forth today by the co-chairs of the Deficit Commission.

“This proposed cut would have disastrous consequences for NASA and the Nation. Commercial Crew now represents the primary means of transporting U.S. astronauts to orbit following retirement of the Space Shuttle. Commercial Crew will in fact result in substantial cost savings to the U.S. taxpayer. Eliminating Commercial Crew would result in total reliance on Russia to get to the Space Station and result in the loss of thousands of high-tech jobs here in the United States,” stated Bretton Alexander, President of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation.

Alexander added, “The bottom line is that elimination of NASA’s Commercial Crew program will cede human spaceflight to Russia. Commercial Crew is the fastest way to reduce the gap following Shuttle retirement, minimizing the time we are dependent on buying seats from the Russians. Some commercial providers have publicly committed to significant cost savings on a per-seat basis as compared to the Russian alternative.

“Moreover, the Deficit Commission also appears to misunderstand the very nature of the Commercial Crew Program. Rather than being ‘a subsidy to the private sector,’ the Commercial Crew program is fulfilling an essential national need by developing the next U.S. spacecraft to take astronauts to the Space Station, while stimulating markets beyond government as well. It is, in fact, a win-win for the American taxpayer.

“Last year, an independent blue-ribbon commission headed by Norm Augustine recommended to President Obama that NASA partner with the private sector on the development of its next manned spacecraft. Since then, groups including 25 former NASA astronauts and 14 Nobel laureates have all endorsed the Commercial Crew Program. The deficit commission couldn’t have gotten this more wrong – this is a program NASA cannot afford to do without,” Alexander concluded.

About the Commercial Spaceflight Federation
The mission of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation (CSF) is to promote the development of commercial human spaceflight, pursue ever-higher levels of safety, and share best practices and expertise throughout the industry. The Commercial Spaceflight Federation’s member companies, which include commercial spaceflight developers, operators, spaceports, suppliers, and service providers, are creating thousands of high-tech jobs nationwide, working to preserve American leadership in aerospace through technology innovation, and inspiring young people to pursue careers in science and engineering.
