Jim Bridenstine: “I enthusiastically supported this legislation and fully support the core missions of NASA that it identified.”

I think it is important that we recognize that what the commercial providers ultimately provide, a lot of it could have already been tested.

It should be noted that the spacesuits are in essence little spaceships. Each one of them is designed specifically not just for the astronaut, but also for the mission. The challenge is, we only have a certain number of spacesuits.

I think there is a concern that I have heard and the concern is schedule pressure.

I have been very clear with everybody I have talked to on both sides of the aisle, the goal should be additional resources, not cannibalizing one part of NASA to feed another part of NASA.
