Excellent article; I've seen presentations on how we have to also do this for the Moon / A new atomic clock in space could help us measure elevations on Earth

Good overview of the history of the National Space Council, and opportunities for a new one.

Commissioner Kubilius's speech at the European Space Conference We, Europeans, can be proud of our achievements in space. Together we're worth a quarter of the global space economy. If we want to maintain our lead in space, we need to take bold and decisive steps.

EU Commissioner for space and defence talking EU priorities for space: "All these new ventures are building blocks towards a European Space Shield to unite our defence efforts in space." I don't think he meant it in a Star Wars/SDI sense...probably
