WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- Two vocal critics of U.S. President Barack Obama's new direction for NASA will assume leadership of committees that oversee the space agency, observers say.
With Republicans gaining control of the House, Reps. Frank Wolf, R-Va., and Ralph Hall, R-Texas, who are expected to assume leadership of key NASA oversight committees, have criticized the president's plans to cancel the nation's moon program and outsource crew transit to and from low-Earth orbit, SPACE.com reported Thursday.
