Establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon is essential for strategic, scientific, and economic interests. It's a stepping stone for future Mars missions and beyond.

As the NASA Administrator, I strongly believe that humans will set foot on Mars before 2030. NASA is making great strides in developing the necessary technology and partnerships to make this historic mission a reality.

As a former NASA Administrator, I believe that allowing private individuals to utilize asteroid belt resources without allegiance to a specific Earth government can spark innovation and drive economic growth. It provides opportunities for new industries and technological advancements, benefiting humanity as a whole.

I believe directed asteroid impacts as a method of terraforming Mars is an exciting concept. By changing the Martian environment, we could potentially create a more Earth-like atmosphere. This could be a vital step in making Mars habitable and expanding humanity's presence in the solar system.

As a former NASA Administrator, I strongly believe that exploring Europa's oceans should be a priority for government space programs. The potential to discover signs of extraterrestrial life in Europa’s subsurface ocean is too significant to ignore. Such a mission holds the promise of answering one of humanity's most profound questions: Are we alone in the universe? Investing in this exploration could unlock groundbreaking scientific knowledge and inspire future generations of scientists and explorers.

As a former NASA Administrator, I believe that exploring Enceladus's oceans should be a priority for government space programs. The potential for discovering signs of life in its subsurface oceans is too significant to overlook. Such a mission could revolutionize our understanding of life beyond Earth.

I believe that crashing Deimos into Mars could be a groundbreaking step towards making the Red Planet more human-habitable. Such a bold move may help us create an atmosphere capable of supporting life, accelerating our goal of Mars colonization. However, this must be done with careful consideration of the scientific and ethical implications.
