at the ground seeing those little impressions of their prints and i thought back to 1969 when neil armstrong stepped on the moon and said one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind. one tiefu tiny little print for girl walking in the dirt but years later, dozens of other girls will be behind her and eventually hundreds and it will be one giant leap for they're community. it really was the peaks that first brought me there but the people that bring me back again. when i got to corefa in the spring. kanle was very sad. his wife passed away. first we embrace each other and there's dust flying around and tiers in our ayes and then we go over to the local graveyard. as we walked to the graveyard we saw her buried in the box in the ground facing the sunset. and out of sentiment he said without her, i'm nothing and then he said something that i would never forget. he said very soon you're going to be standing here and i'm going to be in the ground. and he kind of chuckled and i didn't think that was very funny because i lost my father in his 40's from cancer in 1981 and my sister and you

australia announced it has a new long lost footage of neil armstrong's first steps on the moon.t, how did we lose footage of the moon landing? [ laughter ] "let's see, where did i put that huge reel of the most important film ever recorded? i was at nasa. i went to the bathroom."

like most americans, i grew up with a tremendous amount of admiration for neil armstrong. thought that this man and all the astronauts were enormously courageous individuals. therefore, you can only imagine that i would give his testimony a great deal of weight as i think about this hearing and prepare for it. early on, he said something that was very compelling. it was very concerning. he said that with regard to plan, he hasma i's yet to find a person in any organization that had knowledge of the plan prior to the announcements. rumors abound that neither the nasa administrator nor the wasident's staff knowledgeable about the plan. this guarantees that there will be overlooked requirements. how can such a chain of of this happen? a plan that was so visible to so many was contrived by a small group in secret that persuaded the president that this was a unique opportunity to put his stamp on a new and innovative program. if that is the way that this was brought about, that is enormously concerning. where does this come from is the question that i have to ask. it is not onl

the inspiration for our youth came when neil armstrong walked on in the man -- walked on the moon. it is a freebie. the people at nasa did not join the team to design windmills', but to take us where no one has gone before. the american space flight program has come up for half a century, risen above the partisan differences. the challenges and accomplishments of the pasteur those of a nation, not of a political party -- accomplishments of the past worere those of a nation, not a political party. the flags flying on the moon or not blue -- were not blue or red. they were american. now is the time for wiser heads in america to prevail. now's the time to overrule this administration's pledge to mediocrity. now is the time to be innovative, bold and wise in how we invest in the future of america. thank you for allowing me to share with you my passion. that, quite simply, is the future of our country. >> thank you. mr. augustine. >> members of the committee, thank you for permitting me to speak and represent my colleagues on the human space flight program. i should probably begin by sa

decades ago, children all over america saw neil armstrong step on the moon, and there was an outpouring of interest in science as children dreamed they too could be the next man or woman on the moon. i'd like to see increased investment in these, particularly in minority university research programs, which have been highly successful. but sometimes we can't get all we want. this is that time. but we can continue with our -- without stopping. now is not the time for us to cede leadership of our international competitors. the research has been the most successful research in the history of our country for both commercial products and medical treatment. i believe that nasa has a unique ability to touch the imagination of children like no other federal agency. when mother is short -- when money is short, however, we must adjust, not stop. a concerted effort to inspiring our nation's future scientist and careers is valuable to the national and texas economy. recent census data indicates that texas ranks first in high tech manufacturing and certain engineering industries. space flight, aerona
