"Space exploration has always pushed America forward. We wouldn't have developed the Internet if it wasn't for the men and women of NASA in the 60s, and I believe the same applies for the 21st century. Commercial space is an exciting and growing industry that will ensure our nation's space dominance and bring to bear the economic benefits of space exploration to the American people more quickly."
