Nelson on administration’s plan to end funding for ISS by 2025

Posted on January 25, 2018

Following is a comment from U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), the top Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees our nation’s space program, on news today that the administration is reportedly planning to cut off funding for the International Space Station by 2025:

“If the administration plans to abruptly pull us out of the International Space Station in 2025, they’re going to have a fight on their hands. Such a move would likely decimate Florida’s blossoming commercial space industry, which is one of the reasons why Congress has directed NASA to look at extending the ISS to 2028 and to provide a plan to help scientists and researchers continue experimenting in low-Earth orbit beyond that.”
