Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thanks for calling this hearing to take a closer look at the FAA's oversight of commercial space transportation...

You know, for all my life I have thought if only my birthday we could have a hearing on air traffic control staffing.

I think it is critical for the committee to hear a few takeaways from that meeting.
