It’s a devastating blow, delivered with precision, to a community that has loyally supported NASA for generations,” said one Union member. “The Visitor Center is not a luxury; it’s a vital link between space exploration and the American public, particularly in rural regions like ours where opportunity and visibility are already scarce.” (Full release below)
