NASA FOIA Images: Mitt Romney Tours SSPF-Pad 39A at KSC on 21 January 2008

NASA caption: “Images taken of the Mitt Romney tour at KSC are not, in any way, intended to reflect the endorsement of any candidate by NASA. These images were taken during a tour that is typically provided to other VIP’s. NASA has not authorized the use of these images for campaign purposes and has obtained a commitment from the Romney campaign NOT to use these images for campaign purposes. These images are being released in response to FOIA requests.”

Editor’s note: Click to enlarge image. Isn’t it a little odd that most people who are seen in this location are required to wear bunny suits and caps and yet politicians and their spouses are not? Let’s see how NASA answers my FOIA request as to what constitutes a “VIP” and what the process is for evaluating and approving (or denying) requests for these personal tours and photo ops – conducted at taxpayer expense.
