armstrong, you made the case in your statement, and by the way, we will insert in the record jim lovell's prepared testimony. that will be a part of the record. you made the statement that we should go back to the moon. i want you to tell us why you think returning to the surface of the moon is important as opposed to a lunar fly by and going to be lebron gin -- lag ronigan point as we have the destination to go to mars? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i believe there is value in returning to the moon. we know 1000 times more about the moon than before apollo. but there is still so much of it that is undiscovered. and ventured upon. -- unventured upon. there may be materials that can be used as such time as permanent settlements would be made there. it is worthwhile knowing about those things. so i think there is value going to the surface. nevertheless, there is also value in using the moon as a location from which you do other activities. that can be reached easily by communication with only a second and half time. and allows mission control to be involved in the safety of the operation. we

lovells' world well below the state and federal regulation. -- a levels were well below the state regulationat we are monitoring in the wake of the fire is how it's going to affect the gas prices at the pump. we are taking a look at how the gas prices have reflected this. >>will: manager/under said that he wants to be competitive so he brought his price back down. you can see the trend. before the fire happened it was much lower than now. it did not take long for the prices to go up. we got some reactions to people pulling into the gas stations. here's what they have to say. >> i think is really unnecessary. usually gases that after some announce when back up. if he put $5 of gas and gas tank just to get to work you are just working for gas pin. we oppose the effort some numbers for the gas and around the area but you can bet that it is when to change. here are the prices. because of this refinery fire, it took 240,000 bar. of the market. this does not affect just as in the bay area of the entire west coast. >>justine: the ft i just said that-- the fbi just said that page shot himself in tha

neil, jim lovell, and i have come to a conclusion that this budget has no focus, is in fact a blueprint for a mission to know where. -- know where -- nowhere. it is based on the assumptions of those competing for the elusive contract who say they can achieve more in three years and they can do it for something less than $5 billion. based upon my personal experience and what i believe is possible, i believe it might take as much as a decade, a full decade, and cost two times or three times as much as they predict. although i strongly support the idea of commercial access to space, the folks to propose such a limited architecture did not yet know what they don't know. there are a myriad of technical challenges in the future and safety considerations, which cannot be overlooked, as well as a business plan and investors they will have to satisfy. all of which will lead to delays which will cost the american taxpayer billions of on allocated dollars and lengthen the gap from the shuttle retirement to the day we can again access global -- access low earth orbit, leaving us hostage as a nation
