NASA invites you to participate in a live event for college students discussing The Future of Space. This is an insightful discussion with NASA leadership including Administrator Jim Bridenstine to prepare you as we go Forward to the Moon…to stay. As the next generation of explorers, we need you to make that possible! Mark your calendar for April 29 at 2 p.m. EST time and come find your place in space!
Students will be able to ask questions during a live Earth-to-space call with NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Nick Hague, currently serving as part of the Expedition 59 crew aboard the International Space Station.
The event, intended to inspire the next generation of STEM explorers skilled in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math, will air live on NASA Television and the agency’s website. It also will stream live on Facebook and Twitter. Viewers can submit questions during the event using the hashtag #askNASA.
More information can be found on the NASA website.
