Three boys in Murrieta, CA—Jacob, his brother Tommy, and their friend Thomas—set up a lemonade stand, not for extra money but to support our campaign to 'Save NASA Science.' They raised $97 and donated it to our efforts. When kids stand up for space with lemonade, there’s hope for the future.🍋

Today, we delivered a global petition with 20,787 names on it.

20,787 people from all fifty states and around the world raised their voices for NASA.

Thank you for adding your name.
Thank you for taking a stand to Save NASA Science.

Have space science funding cuts affected you?
We're producing a Planetary Radio episode on how U.S. budget reductions impact the global space science community. Whether you're a student, researcher, or mentor impacted by cuts, email us to share your experience at: planetaryradio@planetary.org.

The reality is worse than we thought.
The White House proposed the largest single-year cut to NASA in history. We urge Congress to reject this proposal and work on a bipartisan solution for a strong space program that reflects humanity’s potential.
