Yellowhammer Times

Senator Tommy Tuberville’s resolution marking the 65th anniversary of the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has been approved by the Senate. The resolution acknowledges the contributions of MSFC, located in Huntsville, Alabama, to U.S. space exploration efforts.

Earlier in July, Senator Tuberville released a video message highlighting the milestone and discussing MSFC’s ongoing work. In a statement following the Senate’s passage of the resolution, Tuberville said, “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 serves as Alabama’s representative in the United States Senate and is a member of several committees including Armed Services; Agriculture; Veterans’ Affairs; Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP); and Aging.
