The Planetary Society is advocating hard for space. This week on Planetary Radio, hear stories from this year’s Day of Action, in which nearly 100 advocates from across the United States came to Washington, D.C., to speak with their members of Congress about the importance of investing in space. Host Sarah Al-Ahmed (pictured, left) also interviewed the co-chairs of the Congressional Planetary Science Caucus, Representatives Don Bacon (pictured, right) and Judy Chu, who together spearheaded a letter to Congress urging lawmakers to support an increase to NASA’s budget.

Learn more about how the Outer Space Treaty came to be, the principles it sets out for space activities, and the other international agreements it birthed.
