The news is good; here's the list >(apparently one more member is awaiting security clearance): Now wait a minute... Personally, I can't understand why on earth a group defining the direction of the US space program should NEED a security clearance. After all, the military isn't going to let anyone outside DOD play with THEIR space operations, so surely the civilian side of the program should be completely unclassified. (Come to think of it, the very FIRST place the committee's report should be mailed is the Kremlin, that way they'll start moving on it 5-10 years ahead of Washington, which will scare everyone in Congress into funding the rest of the program...
