Posey Letter to President Outlines Plans for Shuttle Extension and Successor Vehicle; Asks to Participate in Space Summit
Washington,
April 1, 2010
In a recent letter to the President, Congressman Bill Posey has asked the President to consider plans for extending the Space Shuttle and speeding up development of a successor vehicle as a means to closing the space gap and maintaining America’s leadership in human space exploration.
“Any serious plan to keep us first in space must involve extending the life of the Shuttle beyond 2011,” said Posey in his letter. “The Augustine Panel recently affirmed that the Shuttle is a robust vehicle, which is more than able to meet our nation’s space demands for the next several years until a successor is closer to coming online.” Read Posey’s Full Letter Here |
