Madam Speaker, I rise today to highlight the NASA ``be an astronaut'' program. For the first time in 4 years, NASA is accepting applications for a new class of astronauts. Space exploration is a rich piece of modern American history, and thanks to the new Artemis program, it will remain a part of our future. Artemis will send the first woman and another man to the South Pole of the Moon by 2024 and allow us to establish a permanent presence on the Moon by 2028. Our Nation's astronauts help execute a bold vision for science and for exploration. Aspiring astronauts have the opportunity to join NASA for this new chapter in space exploration. Applications are being accepted through March 31 at www.USAJOBS.com. U.S. citizens with a master's degree in a STEM field, 2 years of related experience, and a passing physical exam are eligible to apply. Madam Speaker, I encourage all eligible space lovers and travelers to apply for this incredible opportunity. ____________________
