“I support about 80 percent of the NASA budget. I do not support a space station that started at $8 billion and now has costs of $100 billion over the lifetime of the contract. But I do support so many good things that are taking place in this bill that most Americans do not even know about: the great observatories, which includes the Infrared, X ray, the Gamma Ray, and the Human Eye, the Hubble, which in this latest edition of National Geographic we are vividly shown the phenomenal and magnificent pictures that this eye is returning to us here on the ground. I am a strong supporter of those great observatories and Hubble and the repair mission that the men and women pulled off so successfully in space. The Galileo, which explored Jupiter, has shown marvelous results for science.”
