Which gives you an idea of the impressiveness next to me. But i did grow up in brevard county, florida, and Cape Canaveral, and i have watched many of you launch to space, and it has been an inspiration in my life and one of the reasons that i chose to pursue engineering. Ive gone on to have a bit of an atypical career.

The Smithsonian National air and space museum shows us artifacts that tell the story of Space Exploration from the moon to mar mars. Each week american artifacts takes viewers into archives, museums and Historic Sites around the country. Up next we visit the Smithsonian National air and space museum located on the National Mall in washington, d. C. Our tour guide is valerie neal, head of the Space History Department at the museum who shows us artifacts that tell the story of Space Exploration from the moon to mars. Im valerie neal. Were in the boeing milestones of flight hall at the center of the museum and this is the hall where we display the pioneering aircraft and spacecraft that transform the modern world. When this Museum Opened in july of 1976 almost every space artifact on display had recently been in the news. This was very much a museum of contemporary spaceflight and it was for most people their first chance to see what had been lauded in the 1960s and early 1970s during thi
We have debate and over the course of time are, i think, whats critical. You have already taken steps by moving away from sequestration. That will be helpful to us as well.

And we do that with a very small force. Your help in helping us to your support in helping us move through and navigate through some of those areas is critical, quite frankly. Because we are trying to look out and predict, if you will, what is coming down the road to keep our people safe. And we really need the support of folks like yourself and this committee to help us see through that and help us to work through some of these challenges. Brief response, please. We believe that continuing t
Canaveral. That was allowed to expire at 2 15. So everything in the clear, right. Not exactly. Were still looking at a 50 50 chance. But breaking it down, if you look at the radar here and well show the entire state of florida you have a line of thunderstorms from tallahassee, jacksonville that extend down into the everglades. But if you get into closer and what were going to see here in a closer inspection, youll see a red dot, we put that on the place where we have the falcon x launch site and youll see where titusville there is there. You notice the line of thunderstorms with the lightning strikes moving from the southwest toward the northeast. There is a clearing line back behind that next batch that is moving in. So we say even though it is breaking down the number of thunderstorms toward Cape Canaveral, maybe starting to dwindle and there are still thunderstorms that could produce some wind gusts and of course the threshold right now and always has been you need these winds under
