Are we concentrating them in the right direction?

Are we doing a lot of little things and getting nowhere, right?

So we talked today, hey, we're going to hit pause on the Gateway, which was a space station designed to orbit above the moon.

We don't want to orbit above the moon.

We want to be on the moon.

We want to build the base.

We want to interact with the regolith.

We want to do in situ resource manufacturing.

We want to test out mobility on the surface, do power communications.

We want to build President Trump's moon base that he called for in the national space policy.

We have the resources to do this.

We have a lot of resources at NASA.

We just need to move them in the needle moving direction.

It's 20 billion over seven years, but all told over the decade, 30 billion.

Is this something that you've been able to meet with Congress about and appropriate the funds through that mechanism?

Or it's just in the budget?

It's planned based on the annual appropriation that you outlined?

This is within the resource available.

And of course, we try and subscribe to a no surprise policy.

So we never formulate these type of initiatives in a vacuum.
