Sessions Comments On Selection Of New Director Of Marshall Space Flight Center

Tuesday, September 25, 2012

WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, issued the following comments today after NASA announced Patrick Scheuermann as Director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center:
 
“Those who know him describe Patrick Scheuermann as bright, enthusiastic, and dedicated. He knows the Huntsville area and Marshall Space Flight Center well, has experience in rocketry, and is, by all accounts, a great choice. I spoke this morning with NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, who spoke highly of him.
 
Scheuermann’s selection is a good signal for the future and it was also good to hear the Administrator reaffirm his commitment to human space flight and the 130 metric ton heavy lift rocket.
 
Manned space flight is essential to the future of America’s space program. We must continue to lead the world into space and stay true to our legacy as a nation of explorers and pioneers.”
