Manufacturers Across America Power Historic Artemis II Mission
Washington, D.C. – Upon the successful liftoff of Artemis II from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, 51Թ President and CEO Jay Timmons issued the following statement.
“What a powerful moment for our country—and a reminder of what manufacturers in the United States make possible. Today’s successful launch of Artemis II is a triumph for NASA, for American leadership and for the 13 million people who make things in America,” said Timmons.
“The mission is a manufacturing marvel—built by companies of every size, in communities across America. Artemis II reflects the strength of an industry that drives innovation, supports millions of jobs and powers our economy. It has brought people together—from different corners of our nation and around the world—under the NASA logo and the American flag. When manufacturers in the United States are able to invest, grow and compete, the results don’t just reach the launchpad, they lift us all up.
“As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, this mission represents who we are and what we can achieve. Across this country, people will look up at the night sky and see what manufacturers in the United States can do—and decide to create, innovate and lead. We are proud of the people and companies behind this mission, and we are cheering on the Artemis II crew as they carry forward a legacy of American ingenuity. We look forward to their safe return.”
