Former U.S. Sen. Harrison Schmitt made it to the moon in 1972, but he couldn't navigate the Senate Rules Committee. On Thursday he withdrew his nomination to become Gov. Susana Martinez's energy secretary.
Everything is on the chopping block, except lubrication for private business. Any idea that doesn't grease the wheels of business and industry is either irrelevant or marked for death under Martine/.' laser gaze. Her appointment of Harrison Schmitt to head the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department has made that agenda abundantly clear [SFReporter.com: "Martine/,' New HMNRD Secretary Predicts Regulatory Overhaul"]. The same is true in making the case for higher education, for the arts, for progressive, innovation- based economic development - we've spent too much time under the wing of ostensibly friendly forces and too little time marshalling the data to prove genuine value. Nothing gets done in these United States because it's the right thing to do; it gets done because it'...
Gov. Susana Martnez's nomination of Harrison "Jack" Schmitt to head the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department reflects her desire to please out-of-state oil interests who funded her campaign.

As local landowner Kevin Stillman steers his red pickup truck northward along dusty Forest Road 298, he spots a spiderweb of single-track shooting off from the edge of the road, created by adventure-seeking off-roaders. "These trails are everywhere," he says. "It's like Disneyland out here. CONSERVATION ADVOCATES say fighting such bills is just putting off the inevitable, as public pressure mounts for increased controls. It makes sense for off-roaders to accept reasonable rules now, rather than have more onerous restrictions imposed later, says Gene Kolkman of the Nevada Responsible Trails Alliance. "There's no way the federal land managers can keep up with (increasing ORV use)," says Kolkman. "They might have to just close more trails." Harrison Schmitt of Responsible Trails America, ...
Gov. Susana Martínez' budget preserves money for schools and prisons. Martínez appoints Harrison Schmitt - a former astronaut who doesn't believe in gtobal warming- as new energy secretary. Martínez says repealing medical marijuana law isn't at the top of her agenda.
NASA has begun planning to return astronauts to the moon in 2020. With that schedule, it will be nearly 50 years between the last human visit to the moon and the next one. Only 12 astronauts have set foot on the lunar surface. Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt were the last two, on Dec. 14, 1972.
Radio host Alex Jones is a major name in the world of conspiracy theories. His syndicated radio show has featured "truthers" -- people who believe that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were an "inside job" by the American government.

And in July 2009, he did a phone interview with former astronaut and U.S. Sen. Harrison "Jack" Schmitt -- Gov. Susana Martinez's nominee for secretary of the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department.
