NASA clearly has a vested interest in attracting, engaging, and preparing its future STEM professionals.

NASA is committed to building a diverse, skilled future STEM workforce--our next generation of explorers with the technical skills needed to carry forward our Nation's vital mission.

This time, even on the first crew, the ones that are coming here to Capitol Hill today, our first international astronaut is Jeremy Hansen.

The President's Budget request for NASA is an investment in our Nation's future.
