Can we normalize talking about how there’s two classes of people in STEM 1) Those who had a parent or close relative with a STEM degree and 2) Those that did not That literally makes so much of a difference

SPACE 👏🏻 CREATES 👏🏻 JOBS 👏🏻 ON 👏🏻 EARTH 👏🏻 Not only that but it creates products and technologies that improves our quality of life and has a farther reaching impact than most people know (unfortunately). Also, don’t even get me started on how small it’s budget is.

Space travel is an exciting idea, but right now we need to focus on Earth and create a progressive tax system so that children don't go hungry, people are not homeless and all Americans have healthcare. The level of inequality in America is obscene and a threat to our democracy.
