NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration is located in the 36th Congressional District. I will fight for the funding NASA needs in order for our Nation to become independent from Russia to send our Astronauts into Space. - Michael Cole Theres no local politician working for Johnson today as in the past, Kraft said. Hutchisons replacement, Sen. Ted Cruz, hasnt shown much interest since going to Washington. You know, Ive tried over and over to set up a meeting with Ted Cruz to talk about Johnson, but I cant seem to make it happen, Kraft said. Unless the U.S. starts getting some ways of our own to get into space instead of taking rides with Russia, its going to be a tough time to keep the manned space program at Johnson, Ignatiev said. He hastened to add that he believes Johnson will always be needed, but without a way to get into space, the manned space program that is Johnsons entire reason for being is left without a purpose. In the long term, man will be in space, Ignatiev said. We will have a manned space program, but in the short term there will be a lull because right now we have no way to get there. For the United States, the leading space-faring nation for nearly half a century, to be without a low Earth orbit and with no human exploration capability to go beyond Earth orbit for an indeterminate time into the future, destines our nation to become one of second or even third rate stature, the statement read. Without the skill and experience that actual spacecraft operation provides, the USA is far too likely to be on a long downhill slide to mediocrity. America must decide if it wishes to remain a leader in space. If it does, we should initiate a program which will give us the very best chance of achieving that goal.
