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.

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

If we show up at the Shackleton Crater, I highly doubt the communist--Chinese Communist Party will care much about how we have advanced an equity action plan.

I commend you for a multi-year proposal.

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

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

We need a multi-year budget.

The X-59, which is this extraordinarily super designed needle-nosed aircraft is going to fly at the end of this year.

We're in a space race. And we want to get to the south pole of the moon where the resources are, where we think water is.

What Putin has done in Ukraine is inexcusable. It's a slaughter. It's, it's awful.

For the defense of the country, both defensive and offensive, space has become the next battleground. It's the high ground. And what you've seen is not only satellites that give us early warning of any attack on Earth, including a nuclear…

NASA's budget request of almost $26 billion is clearly designed to keep the core missions of the agency on track.

There better be, and you are exactly right. There is no excuse for cost overruns.

I do have, in my previous life, some credentials in this area because there is an instrument up there called Discover.

Specifically, that consortium of three States is responsible for 10,000 jobs in the three States, and it is impressive what you all have done.

It is also true that every space mission that we have had, there have been delays.

We will not fly astronauts until it is safe, and if that means there is a delay, then we will delay.

This budget will keep us at the forefront of exploration and discovery through daring and challenging missions like Artemis, which includes returning American astronauts to the Moon as early as 2025.

You cannot go until it is right, but all these things cost money.

China is completely a different experience for the U.S. Space Program because there has not been any transparency.

This budget will help our Nation--and the world--address climate change.

NASA is the point of the spear on climate and climate change because all the measurements that are being made are done by instruments that we design, build, launch, and many of them we operate.

they are simply not transparent. They have not cooperated.

I see nothing that has interrupted that professional relationship, no matter how awful Putin is conducting a war.

I hope that there is going to be kind of infrastructure bill that is still going to come out of the Senate.
