I strongly disagree with the Administration's continuing push to strengthen our scientific cooperation with China.

the Chinese will be able to implement their own Monroe Doctrine for the South China Sea.

Does it trouble you that it falls below the 70 percent standard?

there is only two types of companies in America. Those who know they have been hacked by the Chinese, and those that do not know they have been hacked by the Chinese.

China, an economic competitor who has been proven to steal from us, doesn't need or deserve our help to improve their own capabilities.

NASA has proposed, though, to delete the cost control language in the fiscal year 2013 request.

It is NASA's policy that all projects budget to a 70 percent joint cost and schedule confidence level estimate.

I understand that the budget pressures required you to make cuts to your science programs, but I don't understand why those cuts are overwhelmingly in planetary science.

So we should ignore that request then?

The administration's budget proposal walks away from America's leadership role in planetary exploration, it essentially cancels the Mars program.

We are going to make sure to restore the vision and the excitement that the program has always had, despite the best efforts of this administration to throw a wet blanket over it.

So if we are even reasonably concerned that the commercial crew program may not deliver in time to serve the International Space Station, I guess the question somebody would have to ask, and I am not saying I am opposed to it, but why…

I would think most members up here would agree that the top priority is closing the gap and not seeding the companies

If we go down to one at the end of the game, that is okay, but now our redundant backup is where we are today, and that is Russia, and I do not want to be there.

We beat the Nazis by coming together. And we are in a war. It is a different type of a war, but it is a struggle for dominance with regard to America being the dominant power in space.

I love the Chinese people. I probably meet with more Chinese people than any other Member of the House.

I will go with you, again. But it is really important.

You cannot walk away from entry descent and landing expertise on Mars, and we are not doing that.
