This budget... places NASA at the forefront of a global effort to advance humanity's future in space.

The request provides the fiscal year 2019 resources NASA requires for its role in an innovative and sustainable program of exploration.

I do not think the impact is going to be that significant and here is why.

I could not agree with your assessment on the importance of education more.

You have a commitment from me that we will do that kind of activity.

Absolutely, it would be my honor to speak to it.

Absolutely a game-changer. It is a game-changer for a lot of my old constituents in Oklahoma, for example.

The request provides the resources NASA needs to lead a sustainable campaign of exploration.

Yes, Mr. Chairman. You are aware of Space Policy Directive 1, which is from the President of the United States directing us to return to the Moon and do it in a way that is sustainable for the long term.

We are going to see unprecedented access to space in the coming years.

What we do believe is that, as you are aware, NASA is unmatched in the Federal Government in its ability to inspire young folks and change lives and create the next generation of scientists and engineers.

There is a funding limit on the James Webb Space Telescope that is set at $8 billion.

It is the honor of a lifetime.

I think it is an important direction--as we utilize the resources of the Moon to ultimately take us to Mars and beyond.

A healthy small launch market, medium class launch market is what we want as a nation strategically.

Robotic servicing for our country is a critical capability that we need to have for whole host of strategic reasons.

This President has said that getting back to the Moon with soft landings for the purpose of an eventual human return to the Moon is the objective to establish American leadership.

It is absolutely important to me, as I know it is important to you, that NASA follows the guidance of the decadal survey.

Orbital servicing of satellites, robotic servicing, is a critical capability.

We have to be better at that than anybody else in the world, and I am absolutely committed to that.

Some of us in America still believe in the concept of sexual morality, that sex is intended for one man and one woman within the institution of marriage.

Yes, I do. When it comes to NASA's biggest science and exploration missions we are discussing timelines of decades.

If I am confirmed as Administrator of NASA, the world class experts in NASA's Earth Science Division will continue contributing to important reports such as this.

Hypersonics in my view, sir, is probably the most important right now.

I would conduct myself in a very nonpartisan way doing what is in the best interest of the United States of America exclusively.
