Joseph Tatarewicz, professor of history, was part of an American Historical Association sponsored briefing for congressional members and staffers at the House Committee on Science, Technology and Space on Friday, June 15.
The focus of the session was the historical context of two issues of current legislative concern: commercialization of space travel and space exploration and the future of human participation in space exploration. Joining Tatarewicz were: James Grossman, Executive Director-American Historical Association; Roger Launius, Smithsonian National and Space Museum Senior Curator; Matthew Hersch, University of Pennsylvania; and Alexander MacDonald, NASA Emerging Commercial Space Office.
