YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFormer NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao joins "The Hill on NewsNation" to discuss the looming layoffs at NASA.

Meanwhile, SpaceX continues to operate at a fraction of the cost, receiving over $10 billion in venture capital and $20 billion in U.S. government contracts.
