Well, thank you, Madam Chairwoman, and I do appreciate your holding this hearing...
I think NASA has been starved throughout several administrations.
I think we can fix it, General Bolden.
The emphasis, to the tune of $6 billion, into a very fledgling commercial capability I just think is not sound.
I am committed to the Constellation mission.
The concerns I have and the current debate about the Obama plan is not about political expediency.
I am concerned about a very mixed message. The President says that he is committed to science.
I hope in a constructive way, toward keeping people in space and keeping American control over our own destiny.
I think we are too heavily relying in the President's plan on commercial capabilities.
The starving of NASA started before 2004.
Space exploration has always been a bipartisan effort, and it should continue to be so.
