Looking Inward

by Nate Downey

"We can't go anywhere if the Kennedy Space Center goes underwater and we don't know it—and that's understanding our environment," Bolden said, alluding to the risk that climate change poses to the low-elevation state of Florida. "It is absolutely critical that we understand Earth environment because this is the only place that we have to live." I've robustly criticized space exploration in the past but am very happy to see this NASA chief schooling Ted Cruz. I'm also proud to see our priorities shifting toward planet Earth at this critical moment.
