The 'when' will, in part, depend on public support, and so I'm glad that Mr. Weir is here as well today to provide his perspectives on how popular media, such as books, movies, and television can help further public support for the goal of…
Thank you very much for holding this hearing today on the 'Next Steps to Mars: Deep Space Habitats.'
But just as I close, is there a reason that there has not been a new study approved by resolution since 2010? That is a long time.
I agree with the Chairman that going to space is not about Republicans and Democrats...
It took a lot of work for all of us to come together as Republicans and Democrats to embrace that roadmap.
I think it's really important, and when I look at the young people out here, not only is it my passion but it really is your future.
I want the American people to share the collective excitement in this room and to embrace the desire to send human explorers farther into space than ever before.

Mars is a goal that's worthy of this great nation, and I look forward to working with you, Mr. Chairman, to enable NASA's continued progress toward that goal.
I am gratified that the EPA has introduced this rule and is preparing to finalize it because I think it's going to be a great economic benefit for our state, for this Nation, and frankly, for our future.
Overall, the initiative has achieved a 40 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2005 levels while the regional economy has grown eight percent.
The efforts of Maryland and other states that have been involved in the Regional Greenhouse Gas initiative are proof that environmental protection and robust economic development can and should go hand and hand.
There was a recent news report that said the New Horizons--the New Horizons mission, there were--25 percent of the team that worked on New Horizons were women, and I think that that is something that we need to really celebrate.
I feel like highly undereducated here today, and I hope that the young people who are watching and listening...
