I'm a native Texan, and that says it all in terms of voting rights.

there were 30 members of the delegation, 21 were Democrats. Less than a decade, this reversed.

In concert with our international, academic, and commercial partners, NASA and the Nation are closer than we have been in decades.

I thank you, Mr. Chairman, for having this hearing, and I hope that we'll follow a sensible course.

The recently announced cost growth and schedule delay for the James Webb Space Telescope is not good news.

Inspiring and challenging projects such as the James Webb Space Telescope are an investment in our future.

Mission success for the James Webb Space Telescope needs to be the priority.

The James Webb Space Telescope will be a gateway to unlocking the origins of the universe.

Thank you very much. Good morning, and let me welcome our witnesses. And thank you, Mr. Chairman, for calling this hearing to examine urban air mobility research and development efforts and the potential benefits and challenges that might…

These regulations would also reduce COPD, cardiovascular disease, and other negative health effects.

I don't think that is an excuse to let people in Dallas, Houston or San Antonio get sick and suffer.

Challenging missions and transformational science are what we expect of space programs worthy of this great nation.

This morning, we hope we're going to get a status update on NASA's management and its programs, particularly cost and schedule status on its large missions.

I look forward to hearing more about the technologies that today's witnesses are working on...

Thank you very much, Chairwoman Comstock and Ranking Member Lipinski for holding this hearing to learn more about technologies that are being developed to help improve the quality of life for our injured veterans.
