| WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05), U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks (both D-MD), and U.S. Representatives Kweisi Mfume (MD-07), Jamie Raskin (MD-08), Glenn Ivey (MD-04), Sarah Elfreth (MD-03), April McClain Delaney (MD-06), and Johnny Olszewski (MD-02) released the following statement regarding the Office of Management and Budget’s proposed cuts to NASA Goddard missions: “Maryland is the proud home to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and to many of the men and women who conduct the vital work being done there and at its partner launch site, NASA Wallops Flight Facility. This work is critical to our exploration of space, our understanding of the universe and the planet we live on, our development of new, innovative technologies, and our national security. Cutting NASA Goddard’s missions would not only be harmful to our state – the negative impacts would be felt across the country. That’s why we’re committed to protecting the missions at NASA Goddard, and together we will push back against this NASA budget proposal.” |

NASA used to be amazing. Until a guy with autisim came along doing it better for $2,700 cost-per-pound compared to $70,000 cost-per-pound by NASA.
Stop wasting our hard earned money!
Yes, it only makes sense to the Maryland delegation to have an administrative/main office and some of its labs, 750+ miles away from the where the actual work takes place. You know, like having the Department of Agriculture HQ, 1,000 miles from the agricultural belt.
