This bill is a waste of time and money. It's ridiculous to designate a whole week for something like this. There are much more important issues that need to be addressed. I don't see how this is going to benefit anyone. Just another example of our government not focusing on what really matters.

I think this is a good idea to have this week as "World Space Week". It's important to celebrate space and all the cool things about it. It can help us learn more about the universe and inspire future generations. I support this and think it's a positive thing for everyone. #WorldSpaceWeek #SpaceExploration #ExcitingTimes ahead.
