NASA started the Launch America campaign for SpaceX\u2019s DM-2 mission in May of 2020. SpaceX\u2019s crewed test flight was the first time since the Space Shuttle\u2019s retirement to fly NASA astronauts on an American rocket. However, the campaign received criticism for being too nationalistic and now seems outdated since each operational flight from SpaceX has hosted an international astronaut.<\/p>\n

The Launch America logo was applied to the VAB\u2019s Low Bay side just before the final National Space Council meeting of President Trump\u2019s term. Since then, it has stayed on, even with the new administration change that was less nationalistic. The campaign has also continued with each crewed flight since.<\/p>\n
