I sent a letter to the Indian Space Research Organization indicating that their activities were not compatible with human spaceflight.

NASA is very committed to STEM education. We are very committed to achieving, you know, better outcomes for the United States of America when it comes to producing the next-generation scientist, technologist, engineer, and mathematician.

I believe it can be done.

It'll be a partnership rather than a dependency.

I think what exploration does is it inspires the Nation.

I don't--I'm not banking on that.

Absolutely I do. As a matter of fact, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. We've put more of it into the atmosphere than ever before, and it is in fact causing climate--the climate to change.

No, I absolutely do not.

I think it's important for people around the world to understand that intentionally creating orbital debris that increases the risk to astronauts is not compatible with human spaceflight.

The next man and the first woman on the moon will both be Americans

Not in this way, not anywhere near this level of commitment with these really very impressive goals.

What we do is we prove capability, we prove technology, we retire risk, and our goal is always to commercialize.

Just to be clear, Congressman, this budget request is higher than five of the budgets under President Obama for Earth science specifically.

And we are, sir, keeping those programs going, and we're moving rapidly to get those programs online.

We came in peace for all mankind.

That would be nuclear electric propulsion, which would be an absolute game-changer.

I think we should go ASAP.

We choose to go to the moon in this decade.

We have already signed up nine companies that are able...to deliver small payloads to the surface of the moon.

We are partnering with SpaceIL, which is that little Israeli company.

We have to be really good buyers.

NASA is very ambitious as an agency.

It's an important issue. NASA has a role to play under the President's Space Policy Directive-3.

There is a risk that, depending on the power and the position of the cell towers in the 5G network, it could bleed over into our spectrum.

It's necessary life and property.
