Bill Nelson: “the goal that the Committee has set is to get out beyond low-Earth orbit, that NASA ought to be exploring the heavens…”

Let me define the problem and give you the background.

We do everything that we can to partner with not only commercial industry but also universities and other academic institutions.

For NASA to continue to innovate, we need to attract the next generation of engineers, inventors, chemists, biologists, astronauts, and so much more.

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.
