Nasa. Its been reinvigorated. It was dead as a doornail and now its very much alive. Perhaps, and you know everybody. They know you swls everybody. Why dont you give them a little presentation . Absolutely. Nasa has been hard at work. Part of the whole government approach to combat the coronavirus so a lot of our work force has been staying at home. The question is what do you do with rocket scientists when they stay at home . What nadeau is build amazing nifpks. I have just flee to showcase here but familiar so many others we could talk about but ill go from left to right. This is an oxygen hoods, so a person who has coronavirus, we wants to make sure that they have pressure for their lung with 100 oxygen so we put in hoods on them and we also want to make sure theyre not she woulding virus at the same time so it protects the Health Care Workers far working on the patient.

Although there were problems on every mission we flew during the apollo program. If you could look at the entire report, it is a book about that thick. It is in the archives so you could get it through freedom of information. And as an appendix it lists the problems, we call them anomalies, some people call them funnies, that happened on the flights. And they listed them museum air cally by flight auditor and you ignore apollo 7 and 8, they only have one spacecraft, they didnt fly a landing aircraft. Apollo 13 had the second least number of problems of all of the flights. We almost aborted apollo 14 and apollo 16. They had pretty Serious Problems they were able to work around and allowed them to land. So that was the nature of the business. And as i said, the very theme of this movie that carried very well was the story of somebody in problem, with problems, with a challenge, challenges really to face. And showed a group of people, a team in this case of Mission Control and ourselves.
And so a lot of our work force has been staying at home. As has been the guidance. The question is what do you do with rocket scientists when they stay at home . What they do is they build amazing things. In this particular case, i have three to showcase here, but there are so many others we could talk about. But ill go from left to right. This is an oxygen hood, so a person who has coronavirus, we want to make sure that they have pressure for their lung with 100 oxygen, so we put this hood on them. And we also want to make sure they are not shedding bars at the same time, so it protects the Health Care Workers who are working on the patient. So this is an oxygen hood.

Speaker. As chairwoman of the committee on science, space, and technology, its an honor to stand before you today to celebrate the 50th anniversary of apollo 11. The morning of july 16, 1969, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and buzz aldrin lifted ff from nasas cape kennedy. That day, millions watched in 11 s nasa launched Apollo Saturn 9 rocket to accomplish the goals set by president kennedy less than 10 years earlier, to land the man on the moon before the end of the decade.
