I believe Congressman Bridenstine will provide that leadership.

Only very rarely have I seen a member of Congress focus with such intensity and sophistication on an urgent national priority.

It is a pleasure to enthusiastically endorse the nomination of Congressman Jim Bridenstine to lead the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

He is the right person with the right skills to lead NASA.

it's a critical time, for the space program and space commercialization as well.

So, Ms. Cooper, now, there are a dozen applications in front of the FCC for various new satellite constellations.

we're going to Mars, and the beginning of that is in 2 years with the launch of the largest rocket, most powerful rocket ever, the SLS with its spacecraft Orion.

we are paving the way to a dramatic increase in commercial space activity at the Cape.

So goes--well, we'll let you do all your manufacturing out there.

The next generation of satellite-based communications systems holds even more promise.

And in a recognition of satellites' resiliency and reliability, first responders and those in disaster areas... rely on satellite systems as their lifeline when other communications systems are down.
