Bill Nelson: “If you all are still developing these things 10 years from now that is going to be too late.”

Everything that we are doing is being approached in this commercial public/private partnership.

It is a real problem, and we are going to have some catastrophic consequences if we cannot get nations that are launching things into space to provide enough fuel to have a controlled reentry.

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

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