Jim Bridenstine: “I can tell you everybody at Kennedy is extremely excited about getting the first launch of SLS by 2020.”

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.

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

I do think this goes back to Representative Cartwright's question regarding kind of new approaches.

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