Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) the National Aeronuatics and Space Administration (NASA) is a national security asset and interest for the United States; (2) elimination of the Constellation program (the human space flight program that was to succeed the Space Shuttle program) will present homeland security implications for cyberspace; critical infrastructure, and the U.S. intelligence community; (3) elimination of the Constellation program will compromise the effectiveness of the International Space Station (ISS); (4) continuation of the Constellation program is crucial to improving national security, climate, and research in science and medicine; and (5) the United States should maintain its funding of the Constellation program and should begin funding commercial space in five years and not sooner.
