Dear John,
This week, I was honored to host NASA Astronaut Bob Hines and Administrator Bill Nelson in Northeast PA to meet and inspire our future generations of astronauts, scientists, engineers and more.
Upon arrival, Astronaut Bob Hines and I enjoyed a morning assembly with the entire student body of Pittston Area High School. Then, we met with Admin. Nelson and area students at the WVIA studios in Jenkins Township.
As a Crestwood High School alum Astronaut Hines felt right at home speaking with the students of Northeast Pennsylvania.
Watch the hour-long NASA studio event with area students here.
After meeting with students, we held exciting discussions at a small business roundtable with local business leaders interested in boosting our local space economy.
It truly was an out-of-this-world day in NEPA with NASA Admin. Nelson, Astronaut Hines, area students and local business leaders.
Together, we are focusing on boosting a space economy in NEPA with good paying jobs through exploring business opportunities, and inspiring students to envision bright futures in space careers.
