I remain committed to ensuring our Nation has a robust exploration program.

Our first priority must be getting American astronauts launching on American rockets from American soil as soon as safely possible.

In a time of budgetary restraints such as the one our Nation is facing, we must ensure that every agency is doing its part.

I am concerned, however, that NASA has neglected Congressional funding priorities and been distracted by new and questionable missions.
