Office of the Governor Rick Perry - [Press Release] Statement by Gov. Rick Perry on Final Landing of Shuttle Atlantis


Gov. Rick Perry issued the following statement on the final landing of NASA's Shuttle Atlantis:

"Forty-two years ago yesterday, America captured the world's imagination by putting a man on the moon, highlighting an era of excellence in space exploration. Unfortunately, with the final landing of the Shuttle Atlantis and no indication of plans for future missions, this administration has set a significantly different milestone by shutting down our nation's legacy of leadership in human spaceflight and exploration, leaving American astronauts with no alternative but to hitchhike into space.
