Cronyism in Space?

"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" was the phrase that defined a historic event--a global, scientific breakthrough which defined American ingenuity and exceptionalism. A generation of innovators, explorers, and scientists were inspired by this new world which had opened because of the ingenuity and talent responsible for completing NASA's core mission: deep space exploration, aeronautics and science.

#LOVEISLOVE Unless you are a Gay Muslim

Trump

US NATIONAL SECURITY AT STAKE IN ROCKET ENGINE DEBATE

If Technology is our future, why aren't we teaching our kids to create it?

Despite the ever increasing digitalization of our society, computer science remains an afterthought in our K-12 educational system. 75% of schools in America offer no CS learning opportunity. Only 40% of those that do offer it, accept it as credit towards graduation.
