So thats that gives you a little flavor for the kind of International Diplomatic exchanges were having right now. Thank you so much, miss meng. Mr. Deutch . Thank you, madam chairman. I appreciate it, thanks assistant secretary richard and deputy administrative minister sta al. We appreciate your willingness to keep a dialogue with the subcommittee.

Tell us what that was like at that service and what was Neil Armstrong like as a man and as an astronaut . The Funeral Service was in cincinnati, outside under a covered tent. Mostly family and astronauts and close family were there. We got to see a lot of the apollo era astronauts. Bob jacobs, the pr that represented nasa.
