NASA, International Astronauts Address Students from New York, Ohio
WASHINGTON, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi will answer prerecorded questions submitted by middle and high school students from New York and Ohio. Both groups will hear from the astronauts aboard the International Space Station in two separate events. The first event at 10:20 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, May 20, includes students from Long Beach Middle School in Lido Beach, New York. Media interested in covering the event at Long Beach Middle School must RSVP no later than 5 p.m. Monday, May 19, to Christi Tursi at: ctursi@ or 516-771-3960. The second event at 11 a.m. EDT on Friday, May 23, is with students from Vermilion High School in Vermilion, Ohio. Media interested in covering the event at Vermilion High School must RSVP no later than 5 p.m. Thursday, May 22, to Jennifer Bengele at: jbengele@ or 440-479-7783. Watch both 20-minute Earth-to-space calls live on NASA STEM YouTube Channel. Long Beach Middle School will host the event for students in grades 6 through 8. The school aims to provide both the students and community with an experience that bridge gaps in space sciences with teaching and learning in classrooms. Vermilion High School will host the event for students in grades 9 through 12, to help increase student interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics career pathways. For more than 24 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard the space station, testing technologies, performing science, and developing skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Astronauts aboard the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA's Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through SCaN's (Space Communications and Navigation) Near Space Network. Research and technology investigations taking place aboard the space station benefit people on Earth and lay the groundwork for other agency missions. As part of NASA's Artemis campaign, the agency will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars, inspiring Artemis Generation explorers and ensuring the United States continues to lead in space exploration and discovery.

NASA website removes 'First Woman' graphic novel — but here's where you can still find it
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. In 2021, NASA released a fictional graphic novel about a pioneering astronaut who becomes the first woman to step foot on the moon, Commander Callie Rodriguez, alongside her diverse crew — this novel has now been erased from the agency's main website as part of the Trump Administration's major crackdown on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) programs. There were, in fact, two graphic novels in the series; both have sadly and suddenly vanished from the space agency's official online presence. Besides 2021's "First Woman: NASA's Promise for Humanity," there was also 2023's "First Woman: Expanding Our Universe," which centered around Commander Callie Rodriguez and her intrepid adventures as the first woman to walk on the lunar surface. That second issue showcased a racially diverse team of astronauts and their thrilling mission to the moon. The graphic novels were previously free to the public on NASA's government website and were penned by Brad Gann and Steven List with artwork courtesy of Brent Donoho and Kaitlin Reid. Through the "First Woman" series, NASA aimed to help inspire a future generation of space enthusiasts deemed the "Artemis Generation," in conjunction with the agency's endeavor to truly land the first woman and first person of color on the moon via the Artemis program. "Diversity is at the core of NASA's missions, and the reason we continue breaking the boundaries of what's possible," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said back in 2023 regarding the now-banished series. "'First Woman' embodies the rich history of countless women who broke barriers and continue to lead NASA to the stars. So much of what NASA does is to inspire future explorers because each member of the Artemis Generation should feel represented in our missions. Callie's story reminds us that we will do what has never been done before — land the first woman on the moon, and it will inspire the world." — NASA denies setting 'new bans' for employees amid reports of removing LGBTQI+ symbols from offices — NASA cutting programs, workforce to comply with Trump order — 'Their loss diminishes us all': Scientists emphasize how Trump's mass NOAA layoffs endanger the world NASA has been working in the background to remove all language that specifically points out landing the first person of color and the first woman on the moon from all of its Artemis program pages. In compliance with President Trump's executive order, the agency has also excised wording around DEIA, environmental justice issues, women in leadership roles and Indigenous people from all of its public websites. This came on the heels of NASA canceling its Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity. However, though Commander Callie might be unceremoniously booted from NASA's websites, thanks to the digital library known as the Internet Archive, issues can still be read on the Wayback Machine here.
