SpaceX rocket cargo project puts Pacific seabirds in jeopardy
A project proposed by Elon Musk's SpaceX and the U.S. Air Force to test hypersonic rocket cargo deliveries from a remote Pacific atoll could harm the many seabirds that nest at the wildlife refuge, according to biologists and experts who have spent more than a decade working to protect them.

What a privilege to have learned from @repraulgrijalva.bsky.social as a Knauss Fellow.
As a leader of @naturalresources.bsky.social, Rep. Grijalva tirelessly fought to protect our ocean and communities. He is a man of immense character. Our work moving forward builds off of his tremendous legacy.

Who else hates that Republicans in Congress are pushing for a devastating #governmentshutdown or a bill that turns our science agency budgets into a #slushfund for Trump/Musk? 🙋♀️
@democrats.senate.gov must defend science and staff at NOAA, NASA, and NSF by voting no on the CR.

As a US taxpayer, NOAA costs you roughly $3 per month.
The cost of an AccuWeather Premium subscription, which relies entirely on NOAA data to function, is $3.99 per month.
Privatizing NOAA is a bad deal.

Gutting the Department of the Interior & NOAA won't lower the cost of anything—it'll just make it easier for:
💰 Polluters to drill on your public lands
💰 Big Oil to bury climate science
💰 Billionaires to get even richer
