                        Saturday, August 4, 2007

  Mr. LAMPSON. Madam Speaker, on the recent anniversary of our Nation's 
first Moon landing, I had the privilege of attending a grand opening 
ceremony at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, honoring the 
completion of a new facility to house the historic Saturn V rocket. 
Because it's been a while since we've used this marvel of engineering, 
it's easy to overlook the fact that this rocket was capable of sending 
our astronauts to the Moon. Many public and industry partners played a 
role in restoring the rocket to its original glory, and this new 
facility will allow everyone to appreciate the incredible historic 
impact of this wonderful machine. As we continue to advocate for human 
space exploration and reach out further in the universe, we will always 
look to the Saturn V as inspiration for our most important continued 
quest, reaching out into space.
