| Message | We cannot support such a bill. The exporation of space brings new technologies, information and furthers the advancement of science. To turn our back on one of life's great mysteries would be turning our back on progress. |

| Message | There are many more mysteries that are much less expensive to explore and don't create huge scorch marks in our beloved country. We are better off directly funding research rather than doing so only indirectly through the construction and maintenance of giant bottle rockets. |

| Message | Oppose. Space exploration is expensive, yes, but so was exploration across the planet many years ago. To prohibit space exploration is to shut a door on the advent of science. |
