Jim Cooper: “It is easily possible to show that SpaceX has received about $3.5 billion or so, possibly more, in open source funding.”

Should not suffer because railroads think they own the world.

This hearing will come to order. I would like to begin by thanking our distinguished panel of witnesses.

I request the witnesses keep their opening remarks to no more than 5 minutes, and that members respect the same time limit for their questioning.

I regret the inconvenience.
