Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the Space Launch System and Orion Crew Capsule were authorized on October 11, 2010, but repeated delays in the implementation of a clear mission for the American space program are forcing the United States to cede its competitive edge in space flight capability to Russia and China; and (2) this development, as well as other specified developments, present a direct threat to American exceptionalism and are actively undermining our global leadership as a nation.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that President Obama's delays in
implementing a clear mission for the American space program represent a
clear threat to American exceptionalism.
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the United States has a proud legacy of Human Space
flight, including the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions, and
the 30-year history of the Space Shuttle;
(2) President Obama's repeated delays in implementing a
clear mission for the American space program is creating
unnecessary job losses and hardship across the country;
(3) President Obama's repeated delays in implementing a
clear mission for the American space program is rapidly eroding
our critical aerospace industrial base, which will lead
directly to a precarious situation for our national security;
(4) the Space Launch System and Orion Crew Capsule were
authorized on October 11, 2010, however, President Obama's
repeated delays in implementing a clear mission for the
American space program is forcing us to cede our competitive
edge in United States space flight capability to Russia and
China; and
(5) these collective developments present a direct threat
to American exceptionalism and are actively undermining our
global leadership as a Nation.
