Sen. Cornyn Statement On 40th Anniversary Of First Landing On The Moon

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, today issued the following statement in commemoration of the 40th Anniversary of the landing of our nation's Apollo astronauts on the moon:

"The Apollo 11's completed mission marked a historic achievement for our nation, paved the way for future lunar landings, and ignited in Americans a strong sense of pride, patriotism, and an interest in innovation, exploration and discovery.

"Today, human space flight remains a source of inspiration and wonder for all Americans, and it is vital to our security and prosperity on multiple levels. As President Obama's Administration undertakes a review of human space flight, I will be working to ensure that this mission remains the flagship program at NASA.

"As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of our nation's historic landing on the moon, I pledge to continue to do all I can to support the space program and the hard work being done by the men and women of Johnson Space Center - a source of pride for all Texans."
