On Wednesday, September 14, the U.S. Senate subcommittee overseeing NASA’s budget – the Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies — will meet to “markup” the bill that will provide the space agency with the money it needs to do its job of exploring space.
The next day, Thursday, September 15, their markup will go the full committee on for their markup.
Somehow, the U.S. Senate has decided it can move quickly – to decide the fate of space exploration for the next year and beyond.Please send an urgent message to your Senators asking them to keep our exploring spacecraft flying!
Action time for space-lovers! This is key to America’s innovation. Don’t let the budget fears of today cripple the science of tomorrow.
