Day of Action to Save NASA Science 🚀🌍

On October 5–6, 2025, advocates from across the country will gather in Washington, D.C. to speak up for the future of space exploration and discovery.

NASA’s science programs—covering Earth science, planetary missions, astrophysics, and heliophysics—are facing deep funding cuts. These programs not only expand humanity’s understanding of the universe but also protect life on Earth through climate research, solar monitoring, and planetary defense.

The National Space Society (NSS), in partnership with The Planetary Society and other space advocates, is mobilizing voices to ensure Congress knows how vital NASA’s science is to our future. This is our moment to take action together and defend the missions that inspire, protect, and advance us all.

📅 October 5–6, 2025
📍 Washington, D.C.

Because saving NASA science means saving our future. 🌌🛰️

In 1961, Soviet doctor Leonid Rogozov found himself in a life-or-death situation in Antarctica. Stationed at a Russian base during a brutal snowstorm, Rogozov was struck by acute appendicitis, and with no other doctor around, he had no choice but to perform surgery on himself. Using a mirror, local anesthesia, and sheer willpower, Rogozov carried out the procedure and successfully removed his appendix. He was back to work just two days later, proving that even in the most extreme conditions, human resilience knows no bounds.
