Bill Nelson: “Last June, a national space policy was articulated. It is broader. It has goals and objectives.”

Our seed corn is research and development. We do not want to ever give that up, and that is the mission of NASA.

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

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.

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