We cannot identify every object. However, NEO Surveyor will be able to identify 90 percent of all the potential asteroids that are greater than 140 meters wide within the 10 years of the launch.

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

Indeed I do, and another thing that you were looking at is thermoplastic composites as a new material.

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

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

Let me define the problem and give you the background.

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…

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.

I cannot say it in 5 seconds, but I can say that that mission that you are referring to, it is characterizing the orbit that eventually our Gateway or space station will go in.

There are, in fact, private companies that are getting into the business now of supersonic transports, but they do not have this characteristic.

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.

We go with commercial partners because the third mission, we are going into lunar orbit.

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.

It is an investment in U.S. innovation and competitiveness.

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 need a multi-year budget.

America cannot afford to take its eye off the ball with the rising threat of the CCP.

For NASA to continue to innovate, we need to attract the next generation of engineers, inventors, chemists, biologists, astronauts, and so much more.

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

It will fly supersonic but its design is such a radical design, that instead of pushing the bow wave going through the atmosphere, as you go from subsonic to supersonic, which causes that audible sound that goes 'boom, boom,' it will…

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.

I want to see it increase and, thus, all the more reason that you all need to keep us out of budgetary chaos.

The Stennis Space Center is a very valuable national asset.

I assure you NASA is and will be if, I am around, not only bipartisan, but nonpartisan.

The President's Budget request for NASA is an investment in our Nation's future.
