He had the nerve to say that they do things better, faster, & cheaper. Yet nasa is 7 years behind schedule and 80 billions over budget.

They don't have enough money to get the various tasks they have done. Also, please, find me a major agency that does as much as nasa and ISNT overbudget.🤣

I don't think they should prioritize fiscal efficiency as much as they do. That is one of the things the free market or private entrepreneurship is good at. The thing that the free market doens't like is risk. Leave that cutting edge exploration stuff to NASA.
Is everyone in the Senate 100 years old ?
Bill Nelson has been around since the Pyramids. These people can't give up the grift.
Why fund NASA if they never went to the moon?
Artemis is a failed project.
Nasa needs to get out of transportation business.
Anything Senator Kennedy supports, I am on board with !!

Richard...I use to believe in Mr. Kennedy until he voted to send more American taxpayer money to Ukraine.
How about we put the money into our neighborhoods instead of fucking mars.

How about we not put the money into Ukraine as a start.
SpaceX can do everything NASA can do and more at 10% of the price. 🚀🚀🚀

Starship hasnt launched and done what it was supposed to do yet. His dealings with our enemies is a red flag. He already has went back on a deal with our military over starlink, to please China. Yes nasa is being robbed by Boeing, Lockheed and everyone else involved in SLS. But SLS launched went to the moon, circled around and came back. SpaceX just did somewhat turn a profit. That all will depend on these government contracts, for programs that very often get cut or lose significant funding. Given the current economic state of this country. The debt, people being unable to live, the entire space program could be cut. Nasa is a civilian space agency.
Bill Nelson....dark side of the loon.
NASA prefers to spend infrastructure funds within private industry versus the NASA centers (unlike the DOE). Better, faster, cheaper - pick two of the three. And you wonder why SpaceX is outperforming the entire aerospace industry.

I support infrastructure, I still watch rockets with my son, but you don't need a bridge, administration building, or rocket factory. This is a joke! This is a parody of the same guy talking about the 2nd Amendment.

@@johnpaulvalentin5819 Apparently you didn't read the second part of that where I said it was a joke. I even said this is a parody of something he, meaning Nelson said some years ago about the 2nd amendment. Where he supports it, grew up with guns and still hunts with his son, but you don't need an ar-15 because they kill.

Senator Kennedy must be one of most hardworking politicians in Washington. I see him in numerous committee hearings. Always erudite, witty, fair-minded and to the point.
