Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama pledged support for an additional $2-billion in supplemental funding for NASA and backing for an American Moon, Mars and Beyond program this week while Republican presidential candidate John McCain also backed an additional $2-billion for the federal space agency while offering critical comments about Obama, according to The Washington Post. Both contenders profess backing the civil space program.
Meanwhile, Obama will campaign today and Thursday in Virginia fueling speculation that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine may be added to the national Democratic Ticket this week. Kaine is a pro-space governor demonstrated by his backing of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport the past year. Kaine would be an interesting chairman of the National Space Council.
