From Canyon Ferry to the Cosmos: Why NASA Funding Matters

For every $1 NASA invests in Montana, our state sees a $3 return — fueling education, jobs, and innovation.  

At the Montana Learning Center, NASA funding powers student internships, teacher training, citizen science initiatives, and immersive STEM programs — all designed to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers.

Now, nearly half of NASA’s science budget is at risk — and so are the programs that make science real for thousands of Montanans.

 Call your legislators and tell them: NASA science matters — to Montana and beyond.
