As a former political analyst for MSNBC, I'm used to speaking extemporaneously. But there's one line I have memorized - my credentials.

I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth.

Second terms in the White House open the way for second thoughts.

I'm truly a believer that Satan was behind everything that happened in that White House, and now, the Republican party. Anything that is good for the people, they're against it.
