U.S. Senator Mark Warner, D-Va., acknowledged that Virginia's Congressional delegation hasn't been as vocal supporting NASA as their counterparts in Florida, Texas, and other states. On Thursday at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Warner said he would change that.
Warner said Virginia could take on a larger role in human spaceflight with the continuing development of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Island.
One private company, Dulles-based Orbital Sciences Corp., is under contract to launch rockets from there that will supply the International Space Station. Other companies have expressed interest in the same, reports The Daily Press in Hampton, Va.
