Planetary exploration is in trouble. Massive budget cuts threaten to starve NASA’s planetary program for years to come. I’m fighting back with passion—passion for the incredible adventure that began half a century ago and has given us countless wonders and amazing discoveries. I’ve made this video as a call to action. Please share it with your friends and family. And tell Washington, “We Must Explore!” by going to the Planetary Society’s space advocacy page.
