WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Representative Bill Posey (R-FL) released the following statement regarding NASA’s announcement this morning revealing its design for a new space launch system:

“I am encouraged that the Administration has finally released the concept for the Space Launch System which can restore America’s prominence in space exploration,” said Posey. “However, there is still a lack of vision, and no clear mission. We need bold objectives and an aggressive timeline to captivate and excite Americans of all ages, and keep our nation first in Space as a matter of national security.”
