| | Planetary Society Presents a New World to Congress |
 | | Almost half a century later, The Planetary Society will remind Congress today of the vision needed to undertake such space ventures by hosting a special presentation in Washington DC that features filmmaker James Cameron, Bill Nye the Science Guy, planetary scientist Heidi B. Hammel, and Society Executive Director Louis Friedman. |
 | | The Society will present those signatures to Congress today, but will continue to urge the public to contact the Appropriations Committee in the weeks leading up to the NASA budget mark-up in June. |
 | | The Society escalated its SOS campaign today by launching a new advertising campaign, "Don't Trash Space Science." The provocative ad campaign, endorsed by members of the space community, scientists, visionaries, and celebrities, debuted in Washington area newspapers and on the internet. |
