A recent report showed that NASA’s aging infrastructure can’t handle Artemis launches without $1 billion in upgrades at centers like our own Kennedy Space Center. Florida is the launchpad for America’s future in space—but our infrastructure must keep pace. I introduced the Space Ready 2.0 Act to modernize NASA facilities through commonsense public-private partnerships and ensure the Sunshine State remains a leader in space.

Every chapter of NASA’s spacefaring story has started and ended with a call to Houston. Johnson Space Center, its workforce, and its mission control expertise are essential to all the exciting missions to come. Next up is Artemis II… the most significant human spaceflight mission we’ve undertaken in over 50 years. I enjoyed the discussion with ABC13 Houston - thanks for coming out to NASA's Johnson Space Center
