The lunar landing inspired generations of Americans to pursue careers in STEM, boosting our economy and cementing our nation\u2019s position as a pioneer in spaceflight,\u201d said Rep. Salinas. \u201cAs a member of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, I am proud to introduce this resolution celebrating that critical moment in history and highlighting America\u2019s ongoing commitment to space exploration. It is my hope that, one day soon, we will return to the moon and build on the legacy of those first brave astronauts.\"\n\nIn addition to commemorating the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Rep. Salinas\u2019 resolution honors all those who paved the way for human spaceflight and continue to make it possible today. The resolution goes on to highlight the importance of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration\u2019s (NASA) Artemis program. This campaign aims to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon and establish a sustainable human presence there by the end of the decade, with the ultimate goal of leading the first human expedition to Mars.\n\nTo read the full text of this resolution, click here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "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://salinas.house.gov/media/press-releases/salinas-introduces-resolution-establish-national-moon-day"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9540929459035397, "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"}
