Boosting NASA’s Ambitious Goals
Senator Ted Cruz recently introduced a bold legislative proposal aimed at enhancing NASA’s capabilities. His plan suggests allocating nearly $10 billion to support the agency’s efforts in the ongoing race to explore the Moon and Mars. This funding is part of a broader strategy to ensure the United States remains competitive in the new space race against China.
The proposed funding will specifically benefit key NASA programs like the Gateway, SLS (Space Launch System), and Orion spacecraft. These initiatives are critical for establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon and preparing for future Mars explorations. Cruz emphasized the importance of these investments to secure America’s leadership in space exploration and technology.
