Washington, D.C. - Alabama Congressman Robert Aderholt has issued the following statement regarding the NASA SLS announcement :
“Today’s announcement by NASA to move forward with the development of the Space Launch System is a great step forward in maintaining America’s leadership in human space flight. However, it is long overdue and I am eager to see the details of this decision. I will work to ensure that NASA proceeds with the 130-metric ton SLS plan passed by Congress. I am proud that the SLS will be managed in Alabama and will put the best and the brightest scientists and engineers in our great state to work on this critical venture. I will continue to monitor the situation and continue the fight to keep human space flight funded at appropriate levels as an American priority.”
