Vice President Harris called NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei to congratulate him on his historic journey and 355 days in space. Mark's mission and research in space helps us better understand the effects of long-duration human spaceflight as we prepare for the Artemis missions to the Moon. As head of the National Space Council, VP Harris is working on our priorities in space, including building up America's STEM workforce, addressing the climate crisis, and promoting rules and norms that govern space. #Space #NASA #VP #Astronaut #Kamala
