00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.000
Well, I see STS-114 as the next step in getting people off the planet and, you know, on, onto the moon and on to Mars,

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:18.000
which is our nation's Vision for Space Exploration right now.  To do that, to get to the moon and to put a

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:26.000
plan together to get on to Mars, we really need to complete the International Space Station to test what we're going to be

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:32.000
doing when we're so far away from Earth that we may not have a way to get back quickly and safely.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:38.000
We've got to test as much as we can on the International Space Station to guarantee the safety and the success of the future missions.
