My name is Marie Sorenson and im part of calle 24th i hope everybody can hear me, because a lot of people dont talk very loud. I would like to invite the previous speaker and some of the open 24 people to come to our meetings. We went through we have been around for years. And we have have had meetings for years, and now all of a sudden people are saying oh, well, they are not inviting us. Okay. Im beyond that.

The Planning Department doesnt do very well by conditional uses without standards.

Constraints on Cargo Transportation, as well as Available Power and precious crew time limit what research can be accomplished at the station. In that regard i know many of us want to understand the implications of cargo resupply operations. Crew operations and the sustainability of the station. In addition, mr. Chairman, theres critical work to be done on the iss and Human Health Research and Technology Development that needs to be carried out if were going to make progress toward the longterm goal of sending humans to mars.
