we've had to do avoidance maneuvers with some earth observation satellites. and last year one of the satellites in orbit as well. given that these contribute to our health and well being in many ways from continuity of data to rapid information about natural disasters that most definitely qualifies as national security. when i first launched to space the cold war was in its waning years, but most of the first generation of the space program was defined by that paradigm. i'm proud to say that i congressmaned the first joint mission with a russian cosmonaut as a mission specialist crew member. that mission sts 16 stands among many milestones in space diplomacy witness stand was a precursor to perhaps the crowning achievement of international cooperation of all time. the construction and operation of the international space station by 16 nations demonstrating the potential for space to unite us as a world. something more important today than ever. if everyone could see the world from space see how it is one planet without political borders, serene in its unity.

welles, earth to the moon or whatever? >> from earth to the moon. yeah. good question. among the propossession research going on, it does not include antigravity. antigravity is a pretty remote notion with respect to the laws of physics. and so you don't find people who are ready, who are physics fluent, ready to devote their lives on antigravity. the people who tend to do antigravity are people who think that laws of physics are only guidelines rather than laws. [laughter] and so these are the same community who would do, for example, perpetual motion machines. it violates known and tested laws of physics. so, okay, maybe you'll succeed, but i am so confident you won't that i'm not, i'm just going to go about my way. so don't expect a lot of money to be devoted to antigravity devices. but nonetheless, there are other challenges of propulsion. there's ion drives, and we are way behind. you're absolutely right. it is world war ii propulsion technology, and we are so far behind that it's embarrassing. it's embarrassing. i tweeted recently, i said, um, what'd i say? i said
