The Hit List

The Hit List is a great app over all and when it works, it’s seamless, powerful and gives me exactly what I want. However, I find the iOS version to be very buggy. Lately, every time I open it it crashes immediately despite the fact that I have a fairly new iPhone and the latest iOS update. The Hit List is a 2011 American action thriller film written by Chad and Evan Law, and directed by William Kaufman, and starring Cuba Gooding Jr. And Cole Hauser. The film was released on direct-to-DVD in the United States on May 10, 2011.

Director William Kaufman of the 2005 indie action thriller The Prodigy was chosen to direct.

Filming took place in Spokane, Washington in early 2010.

What Donald Trump’s New NASA Budget Really Means

A new NASA budget

President Trump signed the NASA Transition Authorization Actof 2017 (NTAA) on March 21, approving a $19.5 billion budget for the spaceagency in 2018. The budget is NASA’s largest ever, increasing its 2017 allocation by $200million and calming some fears that President Trump would slash NASA’s capabilities.

However, the NTAA still reflects a change in priorities andmakes the White House’s directive very clear: get to Mars, and do it with the private sector. The budget targets a “human space flight mission to Mars in2033” and demands that NASA “contract with an independent, non-governmental”organization to develop the mission. Private entities are mentioned elsewhere too, as the budget encourages their involvement with the International Space Station,the development of modern propulsion technology, and more. The Presidentcelebrated this shift while signing the budget, saying “the private sector willget to use these facilities, and I hope they’re going to be paying us a lot ofmoney…”

Is this what Trumppromised?

It’s not that simple. President Trump didn’t make specificcampaign promises about NASA, but his pro-business attitude andstatements about climate change had the scientific community rattled evenbefore he took office.

The President has a history of public denials of climatechange dating back to 2010, including an infamous series of tweets in which heclaimed that the “concept of global warming” is a hoax developed by China tohurt American manufacturing.Trump softened his tone after the election, telling the New York Times he hasan “open mind” and that there is “some connectivity” between humanity and climatechange.This did little to satisfy the climate science community though, as seniorTrump advisor Bob Walker told The Guardian the very next day that the TrumpWhite House would make decisions about NASA “based upon solid science, not politicizedscience,” a clear reference to climate change.

While the new budget reflects President Trump’spro-business agenda very clearly, it does not address the future of climate change research, leaving the issue up in the air.

What about all theheadlines about Trump’s budget slashing science funds?

What you’ve been reading about in articles like “Trump’sbudget is everything scientists have been fearing” is true. The White House released a budget proposal on Thursday, March 16th with cuts to NASA that include:

• $102 million of climate-related research
  
• $115 million Office of Education
• $88 million Robotic Refueling Mission

But that is NOT the same budget that President Trumpsigned on Tuesday.

Though the President traditionally submits a full budgetproposal to Congress, it is rarely expected to become law. Instead, theproposal serves as a statement of the President’s priorities which can be referencedwhile Senators and Representatives develop various portions of the budget inthe appropriate committees.

In this case, the NASA budget had already been developed and passed. President Trump signed theNTAA on March 21, but it had been ready for his signature since March 9 – a week before the White House released its proposal. It’s unclear whether thistiming was politically motivated, but Trump did not criticize the NTAA’s lack ofcuts while signing the bill.

So climatechange research is safe?

For now. Maybe.

Although the NTAA doesn’t include the cuts President Trump proposed, it also doesn’t protect any of those programs. In fact the budget never even mentions NASA’s Earth-science division, which is in charge of climate research. Furthermore, the Trump administration appears poised to reestablish theNational Space Council,a body meant to foster communication and collaboration between NASA and therest of the government.

This does not necessarily mean that the White House willseek to exert more control over the agency, but in light of the NTAA’s specialemphasis on Mars and the private sector (and the President’s stated desire tocut climate research projects), the scientific community has cause for apessimistic outlook.
