I believe that when individuals are given the opportunity to pursue their own personal development, they not only realize their full potential but also contribute more effectively to society. Investing in education, healthcare, and equality enables everyone to participate in building a better global community.

We have set a clear goal vital to the next chapter of America's story in space: sending humans to Mars by the 2030s and returning them safely to Earth, with the ultimate ambition to one day remain there for an extended time. The next step is to reach beyond the bounds of Earth's orbit. I'm excited about sending astronauts to Mars and believe it deserves bipartisan support in the coming years and decades.
