One Good Thing
...from the new Congress. A much-needed name change:
As part of a rules package passed by the House yesterday, the House Science Committee has been renamed the Science and Technology Committee.
That committee always dealt with much broader issues than science, and it's nice to see it formally recognized. It may help in breaking this automatic equation in peoples' minds between space and science, as though there's no other reason to have space activities. It would also help, though, if we could lose the phrase "rocket scientist."
