We Cannot Explore The Universe While Misinformed

Keith’s note: This essay “The Only Thing Abandoned is the Truth – Preserving NASA’s Legacy Amidst a Vortex of Misinformation” was written by former NASA employee Amiko Kelly. As another former NASA employee it certain resonates with me. “I know what [NASA] stands for. I see what it inspires. Working for NASA wasn’t just a dream—it was a calling. I worked hard to get my foot in the door and even harder once there. Like many who have devoted their lives to space exploration, I’ve watched with heartbreak as misinformation chips away at the trust and admiration NASA earned. NASA was once among the most respected government agencies, symbolizing human achievement and possibility. But today, conspiracy theories, climate denial, and political distortions diminish decades of groundbreaking work.”
