"We are here this morning with a plan in hand--the NASA Authorization Act of 2010--a plan agreed to unanimously by this body, overwhelmingly in the House, and with a signature from the President."

"the President's budget request, for example, utilizing the word 'cancel' the Constellation program instead of using the word 'redirect' the Constellation program."

"Because broadening our capabilities in space will continue to serve our society in ways that we can scarcely imagine."

"Your concerns are well founded because there were too many times in the course of building consensus to pass it in this committee."
