I wish, Madam Chair, that you all might consider doing a CoDel at the end of the year to come down for the launch of the most powerful rocket in the world.

I will tell you, one of the things you could do with this infrastructure bill coming along, we can only squeeze out so much in the President's budget, but you have a wonderful opportunity, as conservative estimate, NASA needs about $5…

Kansas is to be commended that they are forward-thinking enough to realize that there is the advance of technology.

2024 is the goal. Space is hard.

Several years ago when Ted Cruz and I were leading the Space Subcommittee of the Commerce Committee, we proposed that the date of 2024 be extended to 2030 for exactly the reasons that you just articulated.

By the way, once that is up there, this will just blow your mind.

We are going to fly at the end of this year an all-electric experimental aircraft...

NASA is building five great observatories

We are not going to the Moon to have one demonstration landing with humans.

The reason we want to use the Moon in preparation to go to Mars, is that the Moon is 3 days away, and Mars is months and months away.

This is very important to the President. It is very important to me.
