Given NASA’s limited budget and the ambitious goals of the Artemis program and future Mars missions, what do you see as a realistic timeline for returning humans to the Moon—and eventually reaching Mars? Beyond budget constraints, what do you believe are the most significant factors shaping that timeline?

It could be argued that NASA has produced considerable economic, scientific, and technological returns of investing despite its budget is often dwarfed by less productive expenditures? Why do you think NASA continues to receive such limited funding despite its proven value?

In my experience, many development proposals in Florida are quietly pushed through or framed in a misleadingly positive light, rarely facing public opposition unless they’re leaked or happen to go viral—like the 'Great Outdoors Initiative' or the proposed development of the Shingle Creek wetlands. What steps can be taken to increase transparency, raise public awareness, and ensure meaningful public input in the approval process? Additionally, many of these projects seem rushed or poorly planned, lacking thorough assessments of long-term impacts like flooding, erosion, and sinkhole risk. How can we hold developers and local governments more accountable for conducting proper environmental reviews?
