ASP Statement Regarding the Obama Administration’s GFY14 Budget Proposal Relating to NASA SMD EPO Funding, The Astronomical Society of the Pacific
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), speaking from the perspective of 124 years of advancing science and science education, expresses its profound concern over the Obama Administration’s fiscal year 2014 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education restructuring proposal. This proposal will drastically reduce NASA’s education and public outreach (EPO) effort, including the abrupt termination of all mission-based EPO efforts in NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). We believe that this action, in NASA and similarly in other science agencies, will significantly damage STEM education efforts–just the opposite of what the Administration intends.

    ASP has characterized it correctly. Unfortunately you’ve got a bunch of NASA ‘leaders’ who don’t know what they are doing and don’t care and a bunch of Obama people who think they are smarter than they are. The stupidity of these clowns might seem amazing but look at what they’ve done to the HSF program.
