Congress must resist the temptation to cut funding from military space programs despite the enormous financial pressure on the defense budget from combating the coronavirus, says Rep. Doug Lamborn , a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
Lamborn also spoke to POLITICO about his new efforts to bring more space operations to Colorado and to help space companies weather the pandemic, including protecting their supply chains from disruptions. “I’ve hired someone in my office … full-time on staff just to help with defense companies because there's so much going on,” he said. ”I want companies to view us as a resource that can help.
"We will start immediately jumping into subcommittee work with the full committee right after that," he said. "But a lot of people are really cautious about going back. … I’m not sure if that deadline won't slip to the right."What impact is the pandemic having on Colorado space companies?
What? We can’t contact trace or even test people ( unless associated with ANY Trump). But space funding during an out of control pandemic without a cure.
Wish RepDLamborn was as concerned about Colorado's service-connected disabled veterans who he forces to pay the Disabled Veterans Tax on their earned benefits. I guess he needs someone to pay for space funding. denverpost ColoSpringsNews CBSDenver 9NEWS boulderweekly AP
😂 these people
Republican... Nuff.. Said...
Not really important at this point in time, November 3 approaching. Vote this guy out!
Just when you think these crazy Americans can't get any crazier...
Space...hell we can't even get earth straight!!!
Jackass
Just remember realDonaldTrump disbanded the Pandemic Response Team and established a Space Force during his first term. We clearly need greater protection from Martians than we do Viruses
There are no priorities are there Shame on them🤮
I think we have bigger problems.
Why? We can’t live anywhere else!
Because space funding is more pressing than [fill in anything]?
DougLambornCD5 Only if we build a shuttle transporting Space Cadet Trump to LEO junkyard.
No, we don’t!
Looking for funding for Air Force/Space in Colorado
TOTAL B.S.!!! NOT ONE SINGLE VOTE SHOULD BE CAST FOR ANY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IN NOV 2020 ELECTIONS! NONE ARE WORTHY TO HOLD OFFICE!👎👇

More to worry about here before going to space force. Spend the $$ on science other ways.
They think this is a sci-fi movie where they can escape planet earth after depleting all it’s resources and go colonize Mars! 🤣🚀
Jerk
Typical member of Congress with his priorities screwed up. People are out of job, people struggling with insecure food supply, people getting infected and deaths climbing and this moron talks about the space industry!
Timing is everything.
Geez, what a stooge TrumpVirus
Why?
Agreed… We must keep up our scientific and technological capabilities in space. We have fallen behind in this area to other countries. With our knowledge base we should be leading the world.
YES! We need to go back to the Moon and even to Mars! NO, I don't really know why. But it has something to do with 'science' I think. And because the Russians might get there first. Oh wait. We beat them. Maybe the Chinese. Yeah. They'll make a moon virus and bring back to earth.
Yes! More space funding, but please quit dumping it into the Boeing money pit.
Our national debt surpassed $25 Trillion in May. We've added $3 Trillion of debt this year alone thru end of April. When interest rates are normalized, debt service will crowd out everything else except for Medicare/SocSec/Defense and even those sacred cows are in danger of cuts.
No we don't need to keep up 'space funding'. Lets worry about Covid-19 funding states that is desperately needed.
How about we help Americans put food on the table and find jobs, and you go play with your Star Wars toys.
Send him, the rest of Congress and Rump to outer space. They don't represent the people. The people are on our own.
Let’s worry about the people down here first before we go wondering up there.
I’m getting off this rock.
RepDLamborn Maybe you should have considered this when you handed out a $1.9 Trillion tax cut to corporations that were just bailed out in CARES. Did you vote against Trump diverting funds to build the stupid wall?
My congressman RepDLamborn sucks
Ridiculous..
