Mike Honda: “the principle they laid out for us was do not address that on the backs of the vulnerable.”

I share my colleague's frustrations with this year's proposed discretionary budget from the President that recommends scaling back our support for NASA.

if we want to anticipate astronauts coming back and not watching them burn up on reentry, then we have to take care of that regardless of what kind of funding mechanism we have.

Seed funding is essential. I talked to--in each of the venues that I visited, the leadership in those communities told me we would never have come together organically.

I think it is important that we actually focus in on what we are asking for and not have red herring arguments about this.
