WASHINGTON, D.C. - Suzanne P. Clark, President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, issued the following statement on the Artemis II mission, the next critical step in returning humans to the moon:
"The monumental achievement of the Artemis II launch is built on American industry. From the primes who designed and assembled the spacecraft to the hundreds of suppliers across the industrial base in communities in every corner of America, Artemis II embodies the power, ingenuity, and strength of American industry.
"At a time of growing global competition in space, this mission sends a clear signal: America always finds a path forward, and American industry is at the center of that capability.
"We look forward to cheering on the crew and everyone who contributed to the program from back here on earth."
