NASA Constellation Program

But Cruz's first meetings with NASA workers in a Space committee gathering showed a more aggressive part about him. Cruz and Sen. Cory Gardner made clear quite that for them, the main mission of NASA's space exploration, not any of their other scientific pursuits, like monitoring climate change from space and certain things that other countries may have not discovered.
