The Ohio Senate has passed a resolution advocating for the relocation of NASA headquarters from Washington, D.C. to Ohio. The resolution highlights Ohio's historical significance in aviation and space exploration, noting that the state has produced more astronauts than any other. It emphasizes Ohio's leadership in aerospace research and development, supported by institutions like NASA Glenn Research Center and the Air Force Research Laboratory. With the current lease on NASA's headquarters set to expire in 2028, the resolution presents this as an opportune moment to fulfill President Trump's goal of moving federal agencies out of the capital to reduce spending.

The resolution argues that Ohio's skilled workforce, strong transportation infrastructure, and lower cost of living make it an ideal location for NASA's operations. It asserts that relocating the headquarters would not only honor Ohio's contributions to aerospace but also enhance NASA's potential for future success. The Senate members express their strong encouragement for President Trump, Vice President Vance, and NASA Administrator Designate Isaacman to consider this move, and they plan to send copies of the resolution to relevant officials and the media.
