Bill Nelson: “With some of the rockets that we are going to go to Mars with, we can do it with that.”

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

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

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

This is a watershed moment for planetary defense and all of humanity.
