NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine on Friday said Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama will anchor the U.S. space agency's program to build a spacecraft to put astronauts back on the moon by 2024, a boon for the state and a disappointment for Texas.
quote:
The announcement, which promises to bring jobs and prestige to Alabama, disappointed lawmakers from Texas who had lobbied for the lunar lander program to be headquartered at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, which under NASA's announcement will play a secondary role.
quote:
The Johnson Space Center, which managed Apollo and other NASA human spaceflight programs in the past, will help assimilate U.S. astronauts with the lunar lander and manage all Artemis missions beginning in 2020, when the program's debut unmanned flight to space is due, NASA said.

“Huntsville, we have a problem” just doesn’t sound right.

So they admit they can’t do it the same way today even with modern technology.

All the other centers fight for crumbs, except JPL.

Thought that lanes would stay open for the morning and afternoon commute during the work on Research Park? God I hope so, my commute from Hampton Cove to Research Park/Arsenal is already awful with Cecil Ashburn being out of commission and school coming back.

Based on the article, I think Houston (Johnson Space Center) will still be mission control.

This is why I laugh when people try to put Louisiana and Mississippi on the same level as Alabama. We're simply a step above them.
