I can't think of a more exciting and successful robotic space program that has electrified so many of our people.

I find it regrettable. OMB has enormous influence over NASA.

international collaboration... would seem to be a sensible path forward.

I feel that the danger is severe both to the science that we have identified in the NRC report now but also to our prospects for being able to do similar science in the future.

The danger to planetary science in the United States is severe if that is the case.

What is being done going forward to reconcile the difference for those receiving the lesser payment?

They see inconsistencies. A large company got a $45 million payout, while shrimpers have yet to receive a first payment.

We are frustrated. We are tired. Many of us feel hopeless in the whole process, but we also feel insulted.

Going forward, look. You have $14 billion left.

Is this a stonewalling? Is this to drag it out, to not pay out the $20 billion?

The methodologies that are being offered up to our cities and municipalities are insulting.
