and we went to work. well i will tell you, it was bipartisan work. for the longest time we have grounded the space shuttle. we were literally hitching a ride with the russians to get back to the international space station. and when we came in, we were determined to put america back in the lead, and human space exploration, to get back out of low earth orbit, to get back to the moon and on to mars. working with nasa, and the incredible space entrepreneurs in this country, we set in motion the processes that will do just that. i will say as i said at the top of this broadcast, i have more than a few arguments with the biden administration, but i am truly grateful that they have continued to stay on course to return americans to the moon. but i must tell you that that day, we were at kennedy space center, the president, karen and i were watching the day in 2020, in the midst of that pandemic, when for the first time in ten years, american astronauts returned to space on an american rocket from american soil. i will never forget, you can see the picture
