Jim Bridenstine: “The number one threat to America maintaining its leadership in space is also going to be our national debt”

I think at this point we are in good shape.

Here's what we know: China is not going to slow down. That means that we, as a country, need to come together, figure out what the architecture is, be committed to a process and then move forward as rapidly as possible.

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.
