Moran. \u201cAs the top appropriator for NASA, I have spent the last several years traveling to NASA equities and suppliers across Kansas and the nation who have spent years working to advance the Artemis Mission. To see the successful launch from the Kennedy Space Center was humbling knowing the dedication and talent that was years in the making to reach this accomplishment. Sixteen suppliers across Kansas helped make this mission a success, and many more will be involved in the years to come.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis week marked a new era for our nation\u2019s space program,\u201d continued Sen. Moran. \u201cI look forward to continuing to support this important mission, and to see firsthand the benefits that will stem from this new exciting era of space exploration.\u201d\n\nIn 2018 and 2019, Sen. Moran hosted then-NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine in Kansas. Earlier this summer, Sen.
