BOCA CHICA, Texas – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Ranking Member on the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, today visited SpaceX’s Starbase, a spaceport and production facility for the company’s rockets. Sen. Cruz met with SpaceX leaders to discuss their operations, missions, and needs in the commercial space sector.
About the visit, Sen. Cruz said:
“I believe maintaining American leadership in space is critical, which is why I’m excited about SpaceX’s important work—particularly their goal of returning Americans to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years. I’m also proud that they’re doing this work in Texas, where we have a long history of being our nation’s hub for space exploration. I enjoyed meeting with SpaceX leaders today to better understand their efforts to explore space, the challenges they face, and how Congress can help.”
Sen. Cruz fights to make sure the United States leads the world in space exploration, and that Texas leads the United States in exploring space:
