Future achievements are empowered by the past achievements. The things that you will be discussing today will one day be enshrined in this museum. Dont forget about us, we need hardware. Last month that our museum in washington, at the unveiling of Neil Armstrongs apollo 11 ship, Vice President pence spoke about the renewed commitment to human spaceflight.

You can say that trump let us down by firing yellen who is much closer to trump and putting powell in, and enough powell bashing for heavens sakes hes on the case as there is plenty of evidence, positive news enough to befuddle some fed watc
