Thank you to the 31 university students who traveled to DC to join us this week. They are interns, researchers, and the future of the space industry! – at Hybla Valley, VA
"I was disappointed by the OMB proposed NASA cuts, but am happy to announce the appropriations committee rejected those cuts."
"I'm willing to meet anyone anywhere anytime to ensure NASA has the funding to stay ahead, we can't afford to fall behind anyone."

"I can't tell you how excited I was to see those 4 astronauts in the Artemis Program go further than any humans have. All four astronauts told me they wish they could do the launch again, it went by too quick." -Congressman Babin
@RepBrianBabin
Don't stop us now! The Orion Spacecraft and SLS rocket are in production, and the future Artemis architecture is in development. The future is exciting!

China’s Shenzhou-20 crew did a spacewalk.
The Shenzhou-20 crew on board China's orbiting space station completed their mission's first series of extravehicular activities on Thursday, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). Read update: xhtxs.cn/3NX
And that's a wrap for 2026 appointments with Congressional staff. Thank you university students for coming to DC to tell the offices who represent you why NASA is important in your home states!

A lot of activity last week for the Artemis II crew—a launch and entry spacesuit fit check, translunar injection burn simulation, and communications system checkouts!
Cuts ($508M) to the ISS will reduce the size of the crew and cargo flights and research activities.
The deorbit vehicle consumes a large portion ISS operations budget. With funding halved, NASA would be unable to maintain ISS operations or sustain its workforce.
NASA says long-running budget shortfalls may lead to ISS crew and research reductions spacenews.com/nasa-says-long…
If the United States chooses not to continue Artemis, then the joint China and Russia's International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) will be the only platform for international space partners to participate.
Artemis Accords, the 55 countries that have signed, must lead.
David Willis is correct. The SLS rocket is the only booster that can achieve the mission of sending astronauts to the Moon. There is no other heavy rocket that will be safe and ready for over a decade.

Thank you Congressman Scott DesJarlais for supporting Space Exploration, and a fully funded NASA budget.
The university students studying STEM majors enjoyed sharing their passion with you.

Thank you @RepBrianBabin for the many years of support to Citizens for Space Exploration, and being a friend of @NASA in Congress.
Our university students studying STEM degrees had a pleasure sharing their passions with you. – at Washington, DC
"We want to recruit the brightest minds, because we are going to the Moon."

"The (Presidential Budget Request) budget isn't going to work for us."
"Think about SLS, and Orion..." "...I believe in what space exploration has done for this country!" – at Capitol Hill, Washington
Thank you @BillNye and @exploreplanets for stopping by the @Citizens4Space reception!
Our two organizations are both here advocating for full @NASA funding.
