Going to the polls is a small step for you, but a giant leap for our country! 🚀 🇺🇸 I am a proud member of @Astronauts4America, who came together at the @CaliforniaScienceCenter to launch our four-month nationwide college tour to encourage voting. Join our mission at AstronautsForAmerica.org.
57 years ago today, Apollo 11 reached the moon. We succeeded because we built a program based on rigorous science, meticulous engineering, and evidence-based decision-making. Today we celebrate what Americans achieve when united behind a shared mission.
From space, the things that divide us fade away, while the importance of what unites us shines through. We're bringing that focus back to earth with Astronauts For America. Join our mission of restoring respect for the principles of constitutional democracy.
In space, ignoring evidence is fatal. In democracy, it's corrosive, and just as dangerous. Our mission is to stand up for leaders who use facts, respect expertise, and prioritize data. The stakes are too high for anything else. Our democracy depends on it.
Upholding the rule of law is of the utmost importance, especially for the nation's top law enforcement officer. The next Attorney General has a constitutional obligation to faithfully commit to the principles enshrined in our Constitution.
As astronauts and U.S. service members, we've utilized mail-in voting for decades to vote from military bases abroad and even space. We want to ensure that elections are fair and safe, and that Americans are able to cast their ballots without undue burden. www.space.com/space-explor...
Supreme Court ruling on mail-in ballots ensures astronauts can vote from space — or anywhere else
"This is key to making sure we have free and fair elections."

Today, the Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots postmarked before but received within 5 days after Election Day must be counted. As astronauts, some of us cast our votes from space. This is an important step to ensure that astronauts and all eligible Americans can exercise their civil rights.

It doesn’t matter what problem you want to tackle — money in politics stands in the way of solving any of it. The best thing we can do to make Washington work better is: 1. Ban stock trading in Congress 2. Get corporate PACs and dark money out of politics
The current administration forbids mention of #PrideMonth by #NASA - but they cannot stomp out #Pride inside, outside, and surrounding NASA
The recent firing of the entire National Science Board by the White House is not going down well in Congress – just as the Administration says that America needs to dial up its leadership in science. nasawatch.com/trumpspace/c...

John Glenn's legacy reaches beyond space. As a senator, he built a reputation for integrity, pragmatism, and bipartisanship. He worked across party lines to advance science, accountability, and public trust in our government. We've gotta get back to that.
Science is how we’ve cured diseases and how we just sent four humans around the Moon. It’s a big reason why we’re the greatest country on Earth, but firing the National Science Board shows just how much Trump doesn’t understand that.
We're focused on protecting American constitutional democracy for the long term. Democracy is more fragile than most realize, and public trust in government has declined. Our mission is to strengthen public understanding of constitutional principles and civic responsibility.

In Opinion “Reasonable people can disagree on what should be done to limit the effects of climate change,” writes Kate Marvel, who last month quit her job at NASA researching the future of Earth’s climate. “But rather than debate policy, the administration has chosen to attack science itself.”
