Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) voted along with a bipartisan majority of the House in support of the INSPIRE Act, H.R. 321. Rep. Calvert is an original cosponsor of the Inspiring the Next Space Pioneers, Innovators, Researchers, and Explorers (INSPIRE) Women Act.
“The future of America’s technological, scientific, and economic success will be determined by our ability to educate and stimulate the minds of our students,” said Rep. Calvert. “Women have made incredible contributions in our space science and exploration fields and I think we should do everything we can to motivate more young women to pursue these exciting subjects.”
The INSPIRE Act authorizes the NASA Administrator to encourage women and girls to study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and to pursue careers that will further advance America’s space science and exploration efforts
