Nasa, this pages, and the orion spacecraft. This is an hour and 20 minutes. Good morning. Subcommittee will come to order. Without objection, they could declare recess on the subcommittee at all can anytime. Welcome to todays hearing, an update on nassau exploration systems development. I now recognize myself for five minutes of an opening statement. Exploration means expanding our reach as humans. As a civilization and as a country, the ability of our nation to explore space is a strategic imperative. Our ability to carry out the strategic never will rely to carry out the strategical endeavor will let us push beyond low earth orbit, we must finish the override capsule in order to operate in deep space. We must update our ground infrastructure to support a rejuvenated and expanded agenda. Nasas longterm goal is laid out in the 2017 nasa transition authorization act, to extend human presence throughout the solar system. The space launch system in all right and have strategic capabilitie
You also heard, as i mentioned when i wrote my mem wires, that we saw the impeach earl warren signs and i always wondered who this earl warren was. Later on of course i would figure it out, that it was the chief justice of the United States and he was in trouble in part because of brown. I guess there is no way i could say did you ever think that you would be sitting in the building where earl warren worked. Not only didnt i think of that, i didnt think that i would ever see the building where he worked. Now, as you found out what it meant as you grow older, did you have some idea of what it might mean, what it could mean as opposed to what it may have turned out to mean . You know, my grandfather was an interesting man, he of course, dominated our lives and he felt that as these rights were vindicated that we had an obligation to measure up to use them. I will give you a separate example. When the Savanna Public Library finally desegregated and we were allowed to go to the main librar
Dont have. If we stopped testing right now, wed have very few cases, if any. Im sorry. If you dont test, you dont have any cases. We tried to explain this before. What does he mean cases like officially, because people still have it. And theyre dieiying of it. Thats the remarkable thing. Thats incredible. The United States has 115,000 people who have died 117. 117,000 people who have died of coronavirus. And donald trump keeps saying that if we dont test for the coronavirus lets just stop testing. Then it will magically go away. We wont have any more cases. Actually, testing for the coronavirus does not kill people. Thats just like saying, you know, pregnancies are pregnancies would be driven down to zero if we stopped having pregnancy tests. So we have brought along willie geist to explain what the president of the United States was trying to mean yesterday. Willie, please explain it for us. Well, i think he meant exactly what he said, and how do we know this . He said it before. He j
Here. That came at great sacrifice, but they wanted to be here. To be part of this because they understand the pain better than anyone, because theyve gone through the pain. And i think that we should recognize the mother of trayvon martin, will you stand . The mother of eric garner, will you stand . The sister of bompa john, will you stand . The father of Michael Brown from ferguson, missouri, will you stand . The father of ahmaud arbery, will you stand . All of these families came to stand with this family. Because they know better than anyone else, the pain theyll suffer. From the loss that they have gone through. I also want to thank all of those that helped to make this as easy as they could for the family, certainly we thank, again, our those in the financial and entertainment world, that immediately jumped up and said to the family that they wanted to help. And make sure that they didnt have to worry about expense, tyler perry. And robert smith and champion floyd mayweather. And
As the protests sparked by his killing continue in small towns and big cities across america. Undeterr undeterred. In fact, even invigorated by a president who has set himself in opposition to the protesters. The conditions in this country have changed so much in the past couple of weeks, over the past few months. Its almost impossible for us covering it day in and day out, watching the news and headlines, to conceive of where things stand. How much the world and this country changed. Those changes have proven to be a task of a strange nature of Donald Trumps political strength. His ability to hold tightly to his base, despite repeatedly saying and doing terrible things that would sink virtually any other politician. Back in 2016, trump said, you will recall, he could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and would not lose any voters. He said it sort of surprised and bemused.
