Bill Nelson: “What is the value to the United States that we get back to the Moon first?”

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

NASA has proven we are serious as a defender of the planet.

It is critical that NASA remain focused on its core mission.

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.
