Yellowhammer Times

U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) released a video message commemorating the 65th anniversary of the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The center, often referred to as "Rocket City," has played a significant role in the history of American space exploration.

Alongside Tuberville, U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) introduced a resolution in the Senate to recognize the milestone. In the House of Representatives, U.S. Representative Dale Strong (R-AL-05) led a similar effort.

In his video remarks, Tuberville highlighted the achievements and contributions of those who have worked at Marshall Space Flight Center over the years: “Everywhere I go, people brag to me about Huntsville, Alabama.  And that’s because your talent and hard work has put the Rocket City—and the State of Alabama—on the map. From helping put the first man on the moon to making the SLS the backbone of space exploration, Marshall has made Alabama proud. Thank you to the engineers, scientists, technicians, and support staff—both past and present—who have made this possible.”

Senator Tuberville currently serves on several Senate committees including Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans’ Affairs, HELP and Aging.
