President Obama's National Space Policy
As it turns out, a lot. The new policy also contains directives “to enhance U.S. global climate change research and sustained monitoring capabilities." It basically is trying to bring our space program a little bit back down to Earth. The plan tasks the NASA Administrator, the Secretary of Commerce, the NOAA Administrator, and the Secretary of Defense to build programs that improve the use of observation satellites to study climate change, oceans, and coasts, and to forecast the weather.
FEMA's sale of Katrina trailers sparks criticism - washingtonpost.com
After Katrina displaced 770,000 Gulf Coast residents, the federal government embarked on what watchdog groups dubbed a "hurricane of waste." Lacking plans and contracting experts, FEMA spent $2.7 billion on 145,000 trailers and mobile homes. Many of the mobile homes, it turned out, could not be placed near the coast, under FEMA's own rules.
The agency rushed production of the trailers, with few safety specifications. Then, over nearly two years, FEMA officials suppressed internal warnings that there were health problems among 300,000 trailer occupants -- what lawmakers later called an "official policy of premeditated ignorance" -- before declaring that trailers should be abandoned in early 2008.
When they finally conducted tests, officials found formaldehyde levels in trailers five times greater than the average in most modern homes, and in some cases 40 times greater.
