We have a responsibility to understand the services available to consumers to address their economic troubles and ensure those services are accompanied by appropriate consumer protections.

While many threats impact the safety of the astronauts and the ISS, one of the biggest challenges is resupply and sustainability.

I think NASA has been starved throughout several administrations.

I think we can fix it, General Bolden.

I have invited the Administrator to come to a hearing next week...

Senator Hutchison has seen this problem clearly, and has raised it in speeches and statements in hearings of the Commerce Committee.

I think we need to go forward with the Constellation or the next generation.

I don't see how you can have a commitment to science, but not a commitment to having humans in space at the same time.

Well, General Bolden, the starving of NASA started before 2004.

I am committed to the Constellation mission.

The emphasis, to the tune of $6 billion, into a very fledgling commercial capability I just think is not sound, and it is certainly not going to be reliable.

I will say that I was one who was very supportive of your nomination for the reasons that others have stated because I knew that you would be committed to the missions of NASA and would understand it and would be a great leader.
