This is not a NASA Website. You might learn something. It's YOUR space agency. Get involved. Take it back. Make it work—for YOU.
I’m excited about the opportunity to speak at the #WorldAgExpo tomorrow about how @NASA technology is transforming the agriculture industry. Watch live right here on Twitter at 12:30pm ET. pic.twitter.com/y9VBlegKLo

NASA Watch: Your support is needed, support independent journalism.
Thank you for whatever support you can provide. We recently launched this upgraded website which will allow us to expand our coverage. But the design and hosting come at cost, as does adding new services. We're also going looking to add new journalists as we expand.
We'll send a verification code to %EMAIL%.
Its amazing that NASA does not highlight more its contributions to agriculture. It was NASA research on farming for space settlements, when NASA was seriously studying space settlements, that stimulated the emergence of the vertical farming industry. This is what many folks fail to understand about making space settlement a NASA mission, the real value is not going to be in the form of resources from space, but innovations and IP, innovations like aeroponics that reduce the water plants need by 90%. The good thing about having a NASA Administrator from one of the “flyover” states is that he understands the importance of NASA to agriculture.
Wonder if the word “climate” ever come up.
I am beginning to like our new Administrator.
