1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Leading Human Spaceflight Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The Apollo 11 landing on July 20, 1969, marked the first steps of a human being on the surface of another world, representing a giant leap for all humanity and a significant demonstration of the spaceflight capabilities of the United States. (2) Section 202(a) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Act of 2010 ( 42 U.S.C. 18312(a) ) establishes for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration the long-term goals of expanding human presence in space and establishing a thriving space economy in low-Earth orbit and beyond. (3) The National Security Strategy of the United States of America issued in December 2017 designates the human exploration of the solar system as a strategic priority for the United States. (4) Establishing and ensuring the sustainability of human space exploration of the solar system, as called for in Space Policy Directive–1 issued in December 2017 and the National Space Exploration Campaign issued in September 2018, will require carrying out human exploration and related extravehicular activities on the surface of other celestial bodies in a safe and cost-effective manner. (5) The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center has decades of experience working with international partners, other government agencies, and partners in industry and academia to study, develop, and carry out the human spaceflight priorities of the United States. 3. Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center is critical to the achievement of the civil space mission of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in the areas of program management and integration of large complex human spaceflight programs, including overall systems engineering and integration, human health and safety in space, and crewed spacecraft development and operations, especially those outlined in the National Space Exploration Campaign
