I think, Mr. Ranking Member, that would put us in a position to make landing in 2024 very, very difficult.

If we are putting American astronauts on those vehicles, without question, it is not just up to them, it is up to us as well.

Do we want to lead the world in space or do we want to yield that to somebody else?

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