In an unexpected yet uplifting gesture, I received a call on Friday from some incredible folks at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Although I didn't know them before, their support reinforces the spirit of exploration.

Amid challenges faced by temporary NASA HQ employees who threaten the agency's pivotal role in space exploration by slashing its workforce, the dedicated team at JPL continues to stand strong. They are the true adventurers who refuse to let obstacles hinder their mission.

Thank you, JPLers, for reminding us all of the power of perseverance and the pursuit of knowledge. Together, let’s continue to #DareMightyThings and push the boundaries of what’s possible in space exploration!
