We are calling for the Obama administration and the US Congress to increase NASA's funding from its current roughly 0.46% to a whole 1% of the US annual budget. NASA contributes massive amounts of technological, economical and inspiration power to our nation, and we want to see that they are funded to continue doing just that!

An historic astronomical circumstance is about to transpire in the skies above Earth (above the skies, technically). A space rock 50 meters wide (160 feet) will be passing just by the good Earth, getting as close as 27,700 kilometers (only 17,200 miles!). Never before has humanity witnessed something so large pass so close to us. But, don’t worry – we are not at risk of a “meeting of heavenly bodies”, as they say. This bad boy will be quietly on its way within the day of February 15, 2013 not to be seen again until 2046. Like to know more about where you can watch this epic event online?
