; (2) the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center’s unique flagship facilities, capabilities and experience in human spaceflight operations and program management, including astronaut training, program integration and mission control, have been vital to human spaceflight achievements of the United States since the 1960s and will continue to serve a vital role in maintaining a permanent human presence in low-Earth orbit, as well as successfully carrying out the National Space Exploration Campaign; (3) the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center should continue its leadership in human spaceflight and exploration through its role as the home of the United States astronaut corps, mission operations, the International Space Station Program, the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle Program, astromaterials research and exploration science, and contributions to projects which extend human space exploration beyond low-Earth orbit, such as the Gateway and other capabilities envisioned by the National Space Exploration Campaign; (4) human space exploration programs of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, including, but not limited to those described in the National Space Exploration Campaign, should rely on the experienced workforce and core capabilities of the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, to serve as a lead center for program management, systems engineering, program integration, and operations, to the extent practicable; (5) conducting human space exploration and maintaining a human presence at any destination or outpost in low-Earth orbit and beyond, as called for in the National Space Exploration Campaign, expands the sphere of influence of the United States; (6) successfully conducting the National Space Exploration Campaign depends on a broad base of technical and operational expertise and core capabilities provided by the NASA centers and industry partners
