Few Americans think NASA's top priority should be sending humans to the moon or Mars

Trying to see the MW on the morning of the 24th in Socorro County, NM. Is this sky cover worth risking a 2.5 hr drive?

A friend gave me this claiming it to be a meteorite and apparently he was sure, can you tell me if it is or atleast what it is.

It feels smooth on the surface, I suspect it could be just glass melted with rock but, idk.

Need advice, please !!!

I work at NASA as a contractor. I need to go back to school and would like to keep my job. However, I can't work full time due to school worload. My division won't support going part time and remotely. I reached out to other divsions and they don't have part time positions. It has always been my dream to work at NASA since I was a kid so I never want to leave. I really want to keep my foot in the door while I'm studying with the hope of returning full time once I'm done. Is there anything I can do ? I even looked into volunteering opportunities, but that doesn't seem like an option. Please advise and feel free to DM me with any suggestions you may have. Tks

I'm planning a visit to NASA Space Centre Houston next year. I can only book one tour: which one should I pick?

**Option 1:** **Mission Control (9 a.m. – 12 p.m.)** * Crew Systems Laboratory * Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory * Apollo Mission Control Center * ISS Mission Control ​ **Option 2: Astronaut Training (1 – 4 p.m.)** * Jake Garn Simulation and Training Facility * Astronaut Training Facility * NBL ​ Both tours include general admission, so I'll get to explore all of that too. But which of these tours would you most recommend?
