I love my NASA colleagues and I’ll do what I can to protect them, & preserve our nation’s space research and exploration, & planetary health monitoring, and care for those who are hurt by ignorant, callous, performative, destructive (lack of) leadership. But today is going to be hard. #NASASTRONG 🧪
