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,
which is our nation's Vision for Space Exploration right now. To do that, to get to the moon and to put a
plan together to get on to Mars, we really need to complete the International Space Station to test what we're going to be
doing when we're so far away from Earth that we may not have a way to get back quickly and safely.
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.
