Id like to welcome nasa administrator, Jim Bridenstine and ken 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 and nasas history. Just a week before our bill was marked up in subcommittee, nasa submitted a 1. 6 Million Dollar Budget Amendment that intended to advance our humans to the years. This blowup obtained more information from nasa, regarding its plans to return to the moon. Of all of us on the subcommittee, we would like to send the first woman astronaut into the deep space, including to the surface of the moon and we want to do it in a responsible way, from the perspective of safety, cost and likelihood of success. As most of you know, i have been a strong supporter of nasa and we provide nasa more than 22. 3 billion in our house bill. However, i remain extremely concerned about the additional cause to accelerate the mission by four years

Next, a look at the legacy of the Apollo Space Missions in the future of Space Exploration. The discussion was held at the National Academy of engineering. [applause] welcome, everyone, to the National Academy of engineerings for him on human spaceflight, apollo, 50 years on. Im going on stage today by six incredible individuals, each of whom helped shape the history and the future of human spaceflight. A little introduction about myself. My name is deeann. Much like many of our panelists today, i am an engineer. Unlike most of our panelists i have never been to space which gives you an idea of the impressiveness. I did grow up in brevard county, florida, Cape Canaveral and many of you launched into space, it has been an inspiration in my life and one of the reasons i chose to pursue engineering. I have gone on to have an atypical career. I am an endearing tv host nowadays and founder and ceo of future engineers. We have current talent launched with nasa where students can name the nex
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 space flight. And it was for most people their first chance to see what had been lauded in the 1960s and early 1970s during this heroic age of Space Exploration when humans first ventured off the planet into space and all the way to the moon, when the United States and the soviet union began sending craft out to explore the nearby planets. All of this was exciting, thrilling, and people just flocked in to the museum to see it. In the 40 years since this building opened, we have continued to acquire treasures of space history. We have now about 17,000 artifacts related to space history. We have just over a thousand of them on display in our two locations
Charged. Its a special day, an auspicious day. Were honored to have with us a panel of four important engineers, my personal heros when i was growing up. I was only 14 when you did the miracle back in 1969. I tried very hard to get here and follow in your footsteps as quickly as i could. We have a panel thats going to talk about lunar module landing operations today. If you want to know what that is, theyll tell you about it as we go around. The panel is jack knight, bob nance, harold loden, and bill reeves. Ill have them to identify themselves, say a little bit about what they did, and then open it up a little bit for questions. By the way, since i didnt introduce myself, im john charles, the scientist in residence here. Id like to turn the microphone over to mr. Knight to talk a little bit about what you did here for apollo 11 and what brought you here in the first place, and your recollections of that important day. Okay. I was the son of an air force family. We were in various base
