I would much rather spend $1 billion on roads and bridges or possibly even $1 billion into the NASA Heavy Lift program.

Aeronautics research and development, and the technologies they spin off, are critical to our national security.

The growth of overseas competition occurs at a time when NASA's aeronautics R&D funding is on the decline.

If our domestic industry is to maintain leadership in the years ahead, it's essential that research and development continue.

Drones are going to really--you got the radical left in this country who decided that having a drone in the air is more of a threat to their privacy than to having a helicopter pilot in the air in a helicopter.

Let me just note, depreciation schedules are really important for innovation, and perhaps even more important than a direct subsidy to a specific company for a specific research job.

I don't think we would have a lack of money if we perhaps weren't spending $3 billion a year on a huge, huge rocket that may never go into service.

It is a shame that we have gotten so far to the edge of the financial cliff in this country.
