                                 An Act


 
  To redesignate the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Plum Brook 
Station, Ohio, as the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at the Neil A. 
     Armstrong Test Facility. <<NOTE: Dec. 30, 2020 -  [S. 2472]>> 

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, <<NOTE: Neil A. 
Armstrong Test Facility Act.>> 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility 
Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Neil A. Armstrong, through his own definition, was first 
        and foremost as a test pilot.
            (2) A native of Wapakoneta, Ohio, Armstrong began his 
        inspiring career in space exploration in Cleveland, Ohio, at 
        what is now the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center.
            (3) Becoming the first human to land a spacecraft, and then 
        set foot upon, the moon, represents the greatest dream of any 
        test pilot.
            (4) Therefore, it is fitting that the premier aeronautics 
        and space test station in Ohio should be renamed in his honor.
SEC. 3. REDESIGNATION OF NASA JOHN H. GLENN RESEARCH CENTER AT 
                    PLUM BROOK STATION, OHIO, AS NASA JOHN H. 
                    GLENN RESEARCH CENTER AT THE NEIL A. ARMSTRONG 
                    TEST FACILITY.
