The subcommission come to order. I would like to welcome nasa administrator, jim bridenstine, and acting nasa associate administrator for human exploration and operations, kenneth bowersox, to the subcommittee. Earlier this year nasa commemorated the 50th anniversary of the landing on the moon, which remains the single most successful and Famous Mission in nasas history. Just a week before our cjs bill was marked up in subcommittee, nasa submitted a 1. 6 billion Budget Amendment that intended to start the effort to advance the return of humans to the moon by four years. Such little time prevented us from adequately considering the proposal. This hearing will give us an opportunity to obtain more information from nasa regarding its revised plans for returning to the moon.

Research on another asteroid. Good morning, everyone and thank you for being here. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History where we are so excited to be able to share a sample of asteroid bennu. Im happy to welcome our friends from nasa, especially my dear friend and colleague, former astronaut and senator, administrator now. You may wonder why the museum of Natural History is displaying the asteroid but it makes perfect sense for the museum focused on planet earth to present this sample to the american people. The sample represents not only an amazing feat of technological achievement by nasa and all of its partners, it also offers a window into our past. Scientists, some of whom you will hear from you in a moment, will study these samples and with them answer fundamental questions about our own planet, questions like how did water come to this planet . How did the continence form . How did life itself evolve here . It takes samples back here on e
