Such class & intelligence!

He represents the values of us in Texas well.

❤❤Love you Ted❤❤

The best and smartest Senator in our government today in my opinion. God bless you Senator Cruz.

I went to the polls in the primaries to vote for Cruz. I believe our legislators are 10 to 20 years behind the curve on this issue and it is good to see someone FINALLY taking the charge (I knew I voted right!). Most Americans don't understand how very critical this to their freedom to both speak and also THINK independently.

It was an extraordinary achievement to send humans to the Moon, and fraught with lethal danger every second of every mission. I think most people today don't fully appreciate the incredible complexity of the program, nor high risk of catastrophic failure the Apollo Program endured through. We are lucky to have not lost any of them in space, entombed in a spacecraft orbiting far out for millions of years.

Technology has advanced very far since then, and I think it can be done with a much higher margin of safety for the courageous astronauts of today. It's in our nature to explore, and I really do hope to see people explore the Solar System in person while I'm alive.

Californication is triggered, he said MANKIND

If this man doesn't run for president after trumps re-election I'm going to be pissed.

[Cole-ekfh]

send "the squad" with no space suits.

[Ivellios]

I'm glad my vote for you, against Beta O'dork, wasn't in vain. Remembering the things that matter: American Values, American Citizens, and American Accomplishments.

[bombour]

The beard just puts Ted over the top. He looks timeless. Also thanks for being a beacon of hope for humanity with all the google stuff. He should run as the Republican candidate after Trump.

I'm sure that the footprint on the moon was destroyed by some little space rock

[blackwall]

Hey can you guys have Ted move here to Oregon? We have Dallas Heard, but we need more people like Cruz.

[jimmyunderb]

Damn you had me going up until you said woman.

[michaelgleason]

What difference does it make if it's a man, woman, or neither? Or both?

[ronaldfrechette]

Not to be contrarian, but NASA has been saying for decades that there's no reason to go back to the moon.

I say we should, just as a display of national pride.

[CammyHell]

Thank you. 🇺🇸❤️🔥🔭🛸🚀 Ted, do you have pneumonia or bronchitis? You’ve been coughing all week. Go see de ❤️❤️❤️

[icebough]

Lol

After a nearly 4 decade long hiatus of moon landings, it took the whining of the woke crowd to motivate us to put a strong Wamxn on the moon😂🙄

[captaintusk]

Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin am I a joke to you

[fbnflaviusbroadcastingnetw]

We Conservative Republicans really need more voices representing us! Will you be running for the 2020 presidential election? I hope so!

[genebrown]

Am being blocked by the YouTube "AI system" from being able to watch all of each video unless I listen in stutter mode, then try to figure out what you said. You deserve a "Thumbs-up", but the quality of being able to see and  hear the video SUCKS! The "AI system", has been doing to you for sometime now, what has been done to many others.

50 years and we've yet to return to the moon or taken humans beyond the moon and to mars or some other planet?of what value is a shrine to the pasts if its existence only serves as a reminder that our dedication to exploration of space has been by 1969 standards stagnant, If we as a nation were truly dedicated to the cause of space exploration we would have already colonized the moon and sent manned missions to mars.
