Richard Proeschel, president of Proe Power Systems, has written an opinion column about the importance of Congress providing consistent funding for the Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and establish a lunar base. The Artemis program is already making history, sending humans further into deep space than ever before using the Space Launch System (SLS), the most powerful rocket NASA has ever built. However, uncertainty about the future of SLS could disrupt supply chains, increase costs, and leave talented people out of the workforce due to funding interruptions. The SLS program alone generates $5.5 billion in economic impact and supports tens of thousands of jobs in nearly every state.
