Iannotta talks about US Reps John Culberson and Jim Bridenstine. The two are a dynamic aerospace duo when it comes to injecting fresh thinking about matters of aerospace into lawmaking. They aren't merely overseeing plans put forth by the White House, NASA and NOAA. They are determined to direct them and inspire them. The ideas they propose can sound outlandish, but even outlandish concepts have a way of forcing change that can be rational in its final form. Bridenstine is a big advocate for the companies that plan to gather and sell weather forecasting data by encircling Earth with cubesats to receive GPS signals and measure how far they bend as they cross though the atmosphere along the curve of the Earth. Meanwhile, Culberson has inserted himself into NASA exploration planning in something of a Kennedy-like way.
