Bill Nelson: “It's staggering if it happens that they are being laid off--and that is what is happening. People are getting laid off.”

For NASA to continue to innovate, we need to attract the next generation of engineers, inventors, chemists, biologists, astronauts, and so much more.

I assure you NASA is and will be if, I am around, not only bipartisan, but nonpartisan, and it will continue that way.

Our seed corn is research and development. We do not want to ever give that up, and that is the mission of NASA.

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