But on the other hand, there are people in this country, I think, many people in this country, who wonder about the cost of these programs and the cost benefit to them when America can’t pass a child care tax credit.

Hear Nelson’s response and learn of the direct benefits of NASA exploration in our pockets as well as our health care solutions.
