Propulsion Labs, and all other entities and agencies driv-
ing the United States global leadership and innovation in 
space; 
Whereas NASA developed the Apollo Space Program that 
launched numerous space exploration missions including 
the Apollo 11 Moon landing on July 20, 1969; 
Whereas NASA continues to develop far-reaching and high- 
profile programs that expand our scientific ability while 
inspiring leagues of students, such the Space Shuttle, 
which accomplished 135 crewed transportation missions 
from Earth-to-orbit from 1981 to 2011, the 5 Mars rover 
vehicles that have explored the surface of Mars since 
1997, and the developing Moon exploration program

tional security, science, agriculture, health and medicine, 
education, and space tourism; 
Whereas science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) 
engagement has been a primary focus of NASA’s mission 
and a critical initiative for commercial space companies, 
space museums, and STEM educations centers, such as 
the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas, in an effort to 
build the workforce of the future; 
Whereas the accelerated growth in enthusiasm, interest, and 
investment in space is continuing a long-standing tradi-
tion of innovation and scientific discovery;
