NASA's budget is way too low to do the things that we talked about doing here this afternoon.

How do we develop the technologies, the techniques, the systems, the life-support systems, the propulsion systems that will get us to a foreign body such as Mars with a crew and return them safely?

This partnership is not only good for the commercial space industry but will allow NASA to focus on deep space exploration--specifically, on the path to Mars.

I'm encouraged to see that NASA has made significant progress toward these goals.

Why did we refuse them to come to our space station? It doesn't make any sense to me.

NASA's mission is vital for our national security and economic prosperity.

If we are going to the Moon, then show me the money.

Indeed, we shouldn't be relying on the Russians to ride.

This subcommittee has always not been bipartisan, it has been nonpartisan.

Take my refrigerator example, which is not an extreme example.

You know why I asked that question?

Is there a role for the Congress to play here?

The allocation of additional spectrum, Mr. Chairman, is a subject that we need to get into.

Hackers can access your car and take over basic functions, such as acceleration and braking control.

The promise of the Internet of Things must be balanced with real concerns over privacy.

Consumers' personal privacy is obviously at risk; and it is an aspect of the extraordinary things where we can improve our sleep.

Make no mistake, the advent of the Internet of Things could result in a sea change in the way we interact with our world, how we go about our lives in our homes, and economic growth and jobs.

The Internet of Things can hack into insulin pumps and cause an overdose to occur or take over a pacemaker and cause a heart attack.

Would you submit for the Committee's consideration the percentage of that, as well as the percentage of your general membership implementing the Framework?

But when you get to the question of national security, the terrorist is not likely going to attack your operation.

The necessity for all of us coming together, both government and the private sector, is upon us because of the threat to our way of life and our standard of living.

Greater sharing, because cyber attacks and data breaches have real consequences on the lives of everyday Americans.

Mr. Romine, the voluntary program works as long as everybody is volunteering.

Do they consistently report, in their SEC filings, cyber attacks?

How about a cyber attack on a transportation system that may shut down the railroad or cause two trains to run together?
