the nss is dedicated to the creation of a space faring civilization. i'm a big supporter of space faring but not space fare which is welfare for aliens. get a job, zoltrox. i'm not the only one who believes in nss's mission to bring humanity to the stars. its board includes tom hanks and newt gingrich. the original woodie and mr. potato head. so-- (cheers and applause) >> stephen: i could not be t minus more excited to receive the national space society's coveted space pioneer award for mass media. and i'm inviting tonight's audience to attend the award ceremony with me.

so the work that nss is doing, i think, is key. collaboration with other nonprofit organizations that are doing the same kind of thing, plus american industry. you know, we talk to industry quite a bit now about our s.t.e.m. initiatives, trying to collaborate wherever possible because there are just, you know, there are limited funds for everything. and you frequently find the first thing that gets cut is education. wrong, you know? i don't think that's the right tack to take. but it's very easy for people to target funding for education and say we'll get around to it when we can. we need to get around to it right now. so i would say the work that you're doing is key. okay, yes. >> good morning, general bolden. you mentioned earlier during your talk about being an optimist on being optimistic, so i have an optimistic question to ask especially in the light of the birthing going on here with the dragon capsule. is it possible or are there any plans for, um, an acceleration of commercial space flight activities based on this success
