I worked at NASA, not on this project, and I cried A lot.

I wish I were younger! What an honor to work with you and also where I live today does not feel safe for those of us who love any branch of science!!

Thank you @dougjones.bsky.social - As you read, I felt so sick - and I also I have done so little to try and save our nation for my grandchildren! I am ashamed of how poorly I have done. Thank you for your video and Christopher, thank you for your post.

Thank you so much for standing up for us and our nation. I don't have the skill set to do what you are doing, but our nation's future is in your hands. Thank you for standing up!

Just a heartfelt thank you - you might have started a movement that shows that we don't have to just take it all lying down. We might lose the battle for this nation, but at least someone has started to stand up.

I want to believe - I fear from my sweet, little grandchildren. At times I almost give-up - but @rbreich.bsky.social , I have faith is what you say. You know, it just did not have to be this bad.

I have spent my retirement taking my portable planetarium to rural schools in TN for free and loved seeing kids from red backgrounds open their eyes. But I fear that I will not live long enough to see brighter days. I am broken that hate won. But thankful for what you have done today/and the past.

I want to believe, but I might not live to see brighter days. I feel broken by the hate that I live around. But we all need to keep marching forward.

I had to get up early Monday morning-so I hated to miss - so I will have the chance to see it yet... I toured one of the Blue Origin engine factories (that is also making the moon lander) in Huntsville - Hope they are successful. Thank you for what you are doing and stand for as well.

Despicable is a perfect word - when you want to punish children over some political motive, just terrible. Maybe the parents should feed their children, but that is not reality. I wish the poor who love the GOP over who they hate, would see how much they are hurt by the actions of the GOP
