You sound pretty juiced about this.
===================================
Well, yeah, absolutely, how could you not be?
===================================
I don't know, but after awhile you've worked in the government a long time.
You know the political side of all of this. You know the limitations. Yet
you think there's still great possibilities and probabilities here.
===================================
They're just around the corner. It's always the amazing thing about working
a portfolio like this and working in an exciting agency like this is that
just around the corner you know there's something else just that more
fascinating that you didn't see the day before and it, it's just a really
uplifting kind of a challenge to be pursuing and one that really expands
your creative juices a lot. It really does.
===================================
And in a job like this you have to rely on those people who live on the
edge and love to live on the edge.
===================================
Positively.

Do you ever see us going back to the moon?
==========================================
...but our mission right now is to be sure we can go there (or anywhere
else), quickly.
And for people to be able to survive the experience...And that's the two
areas we're looking for: power generation and propulsion capabilities, and
human endurance. To assure that they are safely returned.
At NASA we believe in round-trips. That's the primary effort.
