But in the way that it is put about in the budgeting, it gets confused.

Well, remember also in the context of where we come today, the House of Representatives had also basically eliminated the James Webb Space Telescope.

Remember, it was the House of Representatives that had whacked the President's request of $800 million down to $300 million.

Well, I just want to make clear for the record, for those elsewhere in the country that are questioning the construction projects at the Kennedy Space Center, those other areas of the country that are building rockets, that you can't…

Those are hard dates, and they are evidence that we are pushing forward with the development of the SLS and MPCV.

And that is why is NASA so far behind the rest of the Government in securing the data on its portable devices?

We have spent a great deal of time on this in the Intelligence Committee, and of course, the attacks are attempted every day.

As you are doing your investigation, you might also find out why only 1 percent of NASA laptops and portable devices are encrypted versus a Government average of 54 percent?

I think the long and short of it, of what we are saying up here, is that we want to see that Orion is getting sufficiently funded so that it is ready by the time the big rocket is ready, and not vice versa.

Well, of course, you are not only preaching to the choir, you are preaching to the preachers.

Science literacy is going to be our future, and somehow we need to translate that into overcoming these obstacles.
