Kendra S. Horn: “Sending Americans to land and explore the surface of Mars is a monumental and worthy goal - one I believe we should…”

It is one of those things that is so outrageous to me that we are not taking care of our service members and their families in the way that they deserve.

I was angry and frustrated and hoping it was a limited problem, but sadly found out that it was not.

We know that the road to sending American astronauts to Mars will require a commitment and direction that continues across many Congresses and Administrations.

You have in the Navy 710 Navy fighter pilots; 17 or less than 3 percent are African American, and not a single woman.
