It's been a busy couple of weeks on Capitol Hill with at least half a dozen space-related hearings, the introduction of a bill that would modernize human spaceflight infrastructure at Johnson Space Center and another that would incentivize spaceport development by making them qualify for municipal revenue bonds.
