Charles F. Bolden Jr.: “James Webb has the potential to expand our understanding of our universe many times more than the Hubble Space Telescope…”

I am dedicated to this, and we are doing what we promised we would do.

The budget you consider today furthers the goals that we share of extending our reach into space.

We will not lose another crew in spaceflight, and if we do, somebody will have hell to pay.

It frees us up to focus our efforts on getting humans beyond low-Earth orbit to places like an asteroid.
