Im very pleased to see a hearing on stem and math and science and precision starting at precisely 2 30 and zero seconds. That is an auspicious way to begin this discussion. Earlier this year on one of the hottest nights of the summer, nearly half a Million People crowded on to the national mall. They were not there for a protest or to celebrate a National Holiday and they were not there for a concert or to watch a fireworks show. No, instead half a Million People went there drenched in sweat to watch the story of the apollo 11 mission as it was projected on to the Washington Monument commemorating the moment 50 years ago when Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin took that giant leap for mankind. As everyone in d. C. Knows, if there is half a Million People on the lawn and it is not a protest, Something Big is going on. And landing the first humans on the moon and returning them safely to earth marks as one

Hottest nights of the summer, nearly half a Million People crowded on to the national mall. They were not there for a protest or to celebrate a National Holiday and they were not there for a concert or to watch a fireworks show. No, instead half a Million People went there drenched in sweat to watch the story of the apollo 11 mission as it was projected on to the Washington Monument commemorating the neal 50 years ago when armstrong and buzz aldrin took that giant leap for mankind. If there is half a Million People on the lawn and it is not a protest, Something Big is going on. Land on the moon and returning safely to earth marks as one of the epical moments in the history of mankind. What we see now is very different than the landscape of 1969.
