Our seed corn is research and development. We do not want to ever give that up, and that is the mission of NASA.

Our decision is that it is more profitable for us to go to the South Pole of the Moon, because we think that is where the water is.

It is the research and development that allows this country to move forward.

Understand that this isn't all like we are pouring money down a rathole. Look what it is doing for our country.
