Reminder: Bolden and Garver nomination hearing today

This afternoon the Senate Commerce Committee will hold nomination hearings for Charles Bolden and Lori Garver to the posts of NASA administrator and deputy administrator, respectively. (Note that the hearing, which also includes several other non-NASA nominees, is officially slated to begin at 2:10 pm, not 2 pm; there’s a 10-minute executive session at 2 pm to mark up some unrelated legislation.) The committee has a webcast of the hearing, and NASA TV will also carry the hearing.

I give it a year, then the same space cadets that hated O’Keefe and considered Griffin the very symbol of evil will be calling for their heads as well. Webb was lucky there was no Internet during Apollo.

Does anybody know where we can get a transcript of the hearing?

Bolden and Garver used the words “commercial” and “entrepreneurial” multiple times. I would like to see the the transcript to get it, and the context, exactly.

It’s not a written transcript, but an archived webcast and opening statements are available here:
