Bill Nelson: “The Justice Department has been utterly lax over the last 8 years.”

All of us have a responsibility to protect our home planet. After all, it's the only one we have.

Look what happened when we spent the money on the Apollo program. Two generations of technology development came out of it.

We cannot operate our science agencies on the cheap, and we should not operate them without clear, multi-year direction.

One of the reasons you and I were able to accomplish so much on this committee is both of us worked very hard to keep politics out of NASA and to focus on the core mission of exploration.
