It's Friday, so let's have some fun. Please feel free to share any political cartoons, image macros, infographics, memes, or other things that would typically be off-topic here on /r/politics. Please keep in mind that civility rules are still in place, and that meta discussion should be saved for modmail or our monthly meta thread.

I am a Professor Emeritus at The George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs where I founded the Space Policy Institute in 1987. I was a member of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, NASA's Advisory Council and am currently a member of the Planetary Society's Board of Directors.

I am the author, among many articles, essays, and edited books, of the award-winning studies After Apollo? Richard Nixon and the American Space Program (2015), John F. Kennedy and the Race to the Moon (2010), and The Decision to Go to the Moon: Project Apollo and the National Interest (1970). I am also currently working on a third "president" book, tentatively titled Ronald Reagan and the Space Frontier. I was general editor of the seven-volume series Exploring the Unknown: Selected Documents in the History of the U.S. Civil Space Program, and am currently preparing a one volume "best of" this series to be published by Penguin Classics.

In addition to my research and writing on the history of the U.S. space program, I stay involved in the discussions of current space policy and where it might lead the country. So feel free to AMA about the U.S. space program and its relationships with the space activities of other countries.

You can read more about me and my recent work on the Space Policy Institute web site, spi.elliott.gwu.edu.
