#NASA #SENATECOMMERCE - Isaccman, I'm happy that we have heavy lift vehicles through Artemis V. After Artemis V we should have many options though past Artemis V. I think the President would like to see a lunar base.

#NASA #SENATECOMMERCE - Sen Cantwell was more pragmatic, stating that OMB seems to want to implement the NASA $18 billion Trump Budget before it's been approved, and the current condition of the space agency. (Sadly, no mention of the issues of what's going on at Goddard)
