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

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

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

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