I look forward to working with him and Ranking Member Cruz to make sure that NASA and the United States keep their leadership position.

It is the research and development that allows this country to move forward.

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

As a matter of fact, we have already spent $200 million to date to address this groundwater contamination problem, and we are committed to continuing the investigation and evaluation, along with our partner, the New Mexico Environment…

We can warn that there is likely to be a wildfire in a particular forest.

Continued Congressional support is critical to the success of the CLD program.

Is there a market out there to cut that almost in half? And I suspect there is.

If we can identify 90 percent of the asteroids that are 140 meters wide, then we are well on our way.

I think what you have said, a 5-year authorization bill, would be very, very well received in the aerospace community.

As a matter of fact, we have already spent $200 million to date to address this groundwater contamination problem, and we are committed to continuing the investigation and evaluation, along with our partner, the New Mexico Environment…

I strongly disagree with this administration's obsession with misguided woke policies related to climate change and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

NASA clearly has a vested interest in attracting, engaging, and preparing its future STEM professionals.

We have $5 billion of unmet needs on infrastructure.

that would mean 25 percent less fuel, which is a good thing for the airlines, but might also be a good thing in the overall energy policy of the country.

We can warn that there is likely to be a wildfire in a particular forest as a result of the vegetation that we are detecting from space.

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

We need a multi-year budget.

One of the obvious examples is the ASAT test that was done by China a decade ago put tens of thousands of pieces right in that zone of altitude of where a lot of our spacecraft are.

What we are going to do is a multi-year test, taking it to different locations all over the United States, and see if the muffled roar is acceptable to the people on the ground.

We are on the same page, and NASA owns and operates that local public water system, so we have every reason to continue this investigation.

I commend you for a multi-year proposal.

Most recently, Russia as well about a year ago did an ASAT test, unbelievably putting junk into the very altitude where the International Space Station is.

We cannot operate our science agencies on the cheap, and we should not operate them without clear, multi-year direction.

I would not want to see them get there first and then claim this is our territory in the South Pole, you stay out.

I would say that there is a significant difference of opinion about that.
