Good afternoon. This hearing is called to order. Very pleased to see a hearing on s. T. E. M. And math and science and precision as starting precisely at 2 30 and 0 seconds. That is an auspicious way to begin this discussion. Earlier this year on one of the hottest nights of the summer, nearly a half Million People crowded on to the national mall. They werent there for a protest or to celebrate a national holiday, and they werent there for a concert or to watch a fireworks show. No, instead a half Million People went there drenched in sweat to watch the story of the apollo 11 mission as it was projected on to the washington monument, commemorated the moment 50 years ago when Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin took that giant leap for man kind. As everyone in d. C. Knows, if there are a half Million People on the mall and it aint a protest, Something Big is going on. And landing the first humans on the moon and returning them safely to earth marks as one of the epical moments in the history
