Petition Asks White House to Reverse NASA Outreach Sequester Cuts

A new online petition asks the White House to repeal budget cuts that have spurred NASA to suspend many of its education and public-outreach efforts.
The petition was created on Friday (March 22), the same day that NASA issued two internal memos outlining how outreach activities are being scaled back as a result of sequestration, the set of across-the-board federal cuts that took effect March 1. The memos began circulating outside the agency Friday as well.
“The sequester’s recent cuts on NASA’s spending in public outreach and its STEM [science, technology, engineering and math] programs must not be allowed,” the petition states. “These cuts would end the many programs NASA has for educating the children of our society, as well as many other forms of public outreach held by NASA.” Read more…More about Space, Nasa, Education, Petition, and White House
