We do everything that we can to partner with not only commercial industry but also universities and other academic institutions.
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.
Look what happened when we spent the money on the Apollo program. Two generations of technology development came out of it.
Everything that we are doing is being approached in this commercial public/private partnership.
