Its a great to be here with you too.

Transform nasa, so i wonder if you can start with why in your view did nasa need to be transformed . Thanks chris. Its a great to be here with you too. I have been at nasa in the 1990s working under the nasa administrator at the time dan golden who was actively and successfully in many ways working to transform nasa. I had previous to that worked for a grassroots organization. That was really interested in returning human space flight to more than just a handful of astronauts and nasa had sort o...

S. Forest service. So twofold program, Vegetation Management, we aggressively pursue that, but also from a Public Education sta...

Important to remember that although it was stressed, the military members are members of the community as well so lets not forget that as far as active duty. Although were transient in nature, sometimes were in deployment, many of us are home owners and we live in that community. We are part of that community as well. Just like the guard, we have an interest in protecting our friends and neighbors. Sustainment is, its important to us and well maintain it especially on the region side. Were able ...

Friends and neighbors. Sustainment is, its important to us and well maintain it especially on the region side. Were able to have these longstanding relationships while the operating force side goes forward and supports the ongoing efforts, we are able to stay back here and sustain those relationships. Just to follow on that, the Navy Squadrons that provide Fire Fighting capability are a combination of active and reserve components. One benefit of reserve components is more longevity is pilots in...

On operatability within the California National guard. They worked really well within the framework that we established with cal fire and then beyond that throughout the National Guard and the army, all of our aviators train to the same standards so really were able to integrate any aircrew from any state, any component, into our program at any time because were operating you noah cording you know, according to the same standards. Back in 2008 we had a very large fire event here in california an...

Ill say thats unprecedented with any civilian Emergency Services agency going to a dod asset and having it engage in 4 hours. Commander, anything you want to share . More recently in 2012, two squadrons provided 3 aircraft and the notification process was approximately 2 to 3 hours. We have expanded the capability in the navy, as i said earlier, and that allows for that rapid surge response which was put to the test in august. On this most recent lightning complex fire, it was a little bit diffe...

He is currently making his way to the venue and could be here in a matter of minutes, we understand. And this is going to be somewhat of a celebratory tone, we imagine, because a lot of the people that are sitting in this room at this convention would benefit potentially from the trade deals that were talking about here. On twitter, this afternoon, the president in part im quoting here saying that farmers hit pay dirt with our incredible new trade deal, china, japan, mexico, canada, south korea,...

The box is covered, the, hussey who is here in virginia. I want to start with what...

Canaveral. That was allowed to expire at 2 15. So everything in the clear, right. Not exactly. Were still looking at a 50 50 chance. But breaking it down, if you look at the radar here and well show the entire state of florida you have a line of thunderstorms from tallahassee, jacksonville that extend down into the everglades. But if you get into closer and what were going to see here in a closer inspection, youll see a red dot, we put that on the place where we have the falcon x launch site and...
