How can we ensure that if we start this new program which, as I mentioned at the outset, some of us on the SASC have put $100 million in this coming fiscal year to start it--how can we be assured that this is not going to get canceled in a few years and therefore the waste of the money?
Nelson questions the assurance of funding for new programs to avoid waste.

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.
We cannot operate our science agencies on the cheap, and we should not operate them without clear, multi-year direction.
We are on the same page, and NASA owns and operates that local public water system, so we have every reason to continue this investigation.
It is a real problem, and we are going to have some catastrophic consequences if we cannot get nations that are launching things into space to provide enough fuel to have a controlled reentry.
