I also did the Google search
Nick,
I did the Google search almost immediately after I read Chris Vancil's original post. I got the same results you posted. Chris' post implied that Matula was some kind of high level politician, i.e. high enough that he could politically sabotage MRO. All I could tell from the Google information was Matula was some sort of space exploration advocate sufficiently well connected that he could write legislation for Congressmen. That told me almost nothing. He might be just another loose cannon like some of the screwballs who write troll pieces in this forum. Matula could also be some sort of Karl Rove with Lockheed-Martin bankrolling him. I still don't know who Tom Matula "is".
