This month marks 45 years since the Apollo 17 lunar landing, the last manned mission to the Moon, so it is fitting that President Trump today signed SPD-1 to restore America\u2019s commitment to human space exploration.\u201d\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://brooks.house.gov/media-center/news-releases/brooks-praises-president-trumps-new-space-policy-directive"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3180430978536606, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
