Theyre going to be talking about International Cooperation in space. So youre asking it in very general terms and, of course, with all these agencies oef here, there are already activities going on in cooperation not only on the International Space station but also in other programs so there are bilateral and multilateral agreements.

Welcome nasa administrator jim bridenstine, and acting associate administrator for human exploration and operations Kenneth Bowersox to the subcommittee this morning. 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.

Id like to welcome nasa administrator, Jim Bridenstine and ken bowersox to the subcommittee this morning.
