00:00 I rise and extend my remarks.
00:02 Without objection, the gentlelady is recognized for one minute.
00:05 Thank you.
00:06 Mr. Speaker, yesterday I viewed the total solar eclipse surrounded by thousands of children,
00:12 teachers and families at Imagination Station in Toledo, Ohio.
00:18 So many traveled from near and far to witness this phenomenon together.
00:23 New generations of astronauts and scientists were inspired to think about how our solar
00:28 system and its qualities impact our way of life.
00:32 The science and mysteries of the cosmos, sun, moon and the stars above remain new horizons
00:38 for humankind.
00:39 As a lifelong resident of the Buckeye State, I know Ohio is recognized as the state of
00:44 flight and for courageous heroes from the Wright brothers to astronauts John Glenn and
00:49 Neil Armstrong.
00:50 Our state has a proud tradition of breaking barriers from soaring into flight, taking
00:55 the first steps on the moon and launching toward the stars above.
00:59 Yesterday a new generation of Ohioans got a chance to take in the wonders and see a
01:03 phenomenon something we will not witness again until 2044.
01:07 Maybe the next John Glenn or Sally Ride was amongst us yesterday, dreaming of the day
01:12 they will change the course of space travel and human history.
01:15 Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I yield back.
01:19 For what purpose does the gentlelady from Utah seek recognition?
