On a space station . Good question. Well, i did go to work for nasa which was a big help for me. I decided being an astronaut was a goal. Really what i also work on was aircraft control systems. Thats where my main work at nasa was on. That could play into working on the shuttle, also helping out. I just got lucky in the selection process. Thats really there are so many qualified people who try to be astronauts. It takes a little bit of luck just to get in. I just happened to get a little lucky. Had all the requirements needed and just a little bit of luck and i made it. So commander, in about 30 seconds tell us about the best experience youve had onboard the space station itself. Well, the best experience is, well always looking out window and the best way to look out the window is not having a window in front of you, thats going on a spacewalk. Thats probably the best experience. Its a fantastic feeling. It is a little pressure on you at the same time but, boy, its quite an experienc
Candidates . Is it the commercials . The endorsements, debates or biographies. Also, send us a tweet at cspan. You can join the conversation on facebook. Com. Well get to your thoughts in just a second. How you decide on a candidate, theres the question for you. The phone lines are open. Start dialing in now. Politico has this headline. Gop sets sights on bigger house gains. And in it they report the House Republicans have been destined for modest gains in the midterm despite a favorable political environment. Now just five weeks until election day the party is raising its ambitions, long thought to be beyond the gops reach. The goal, achieve the biggest House Majority since Harry Trumans presidency. The National Republican Congressional Committee reserved millions of dollars of tv advertising time in two house districts. One in upstate new york, the other in northern maine, that broke sharply for obama in the 2012 election. Gop prospects have been on the rise. Thats what the republica
Get it done. We will get it done november. We will cover it we will get it done in june. We stood and nothing happened. There was courage to get something done. Was not am is, there marco rubio in the house on the republican side that would stand stand upke courage and to anybody, the tea party, and say, look, we have to get this done. Pastor, i teach that there is power in prayer. But as a citizen, there is power in my vote. And the best thing i can do is tell my constituents and we are doing this with the work with the different organizations. What are we telling our people . You must show up to vote. I dont think congress has felt the consequences of us voting. Evangelicals, the 20 that voted for governor romney, 50 of that 28 of hispanics was evangelicals. Apple not happen again. If you do not read not support Immigration Reform, you will not get the hispanic vote and you will not get the evangelical vote. You have to realize that. [applause] panel.

Right way. Host richard talks about medical marijuana. You may have other issues. Keep calling with those as we take a few minutes to talk about secret service. It was at the white house where the White House Press spokesperson josh earnest talked about the issue of the resignation and also talked about when the white house learned about that Armed Security guard, the Armed Security contractor who rode in an elevator with president obama. I can tell you that the white house first learned of that incident yesterday afternoon shortly before it was reported by before it was reported by the news organization. She did not tell him about that . The agency did not tell the white house about that . He didnt know about it yesterday . Until shortly before it was reported publicly. And thats a problem, right . Well, i would i think the it would be accurate for you to assume that when incidents like that occur, that there would be a pretty open channel of communication between the United States se
Frankly to take the gonzales threat seriously after the information provided by the Virginia State police. We knew he had a history of mental omelettes. We knew that Mental Illness. We knew that he was loaded up with guns. Had a map ofhe washington. You indicate that that map was described as just a tourist map looking at places he might go. That might make sense, except for the fact that he was loaded up with ammunition and weapons in his car at the time. Utah hasriend from made headlines and made a statement here today that he believes your reaction should be one of maximum force. I guess we should read that to mean that he should be shot on fence,hen he crosses the when he goes over the fence. I am reluctant to join him in that kind of advice to the secret service because there is a first family at the white house. There are guests in the white house. It is a busy and bustling place, and the idea we are going to have a shootout on the white to begrounds seems to me a last resort, no
