The bill proposes the enactment of section 5.282 of the Revised Code, which designates the fourth Thursday of January as "NASA Day of Remembrance." This day is intended to pay tribute to and honor the members of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) family who have lost their lives in the pursuit of space exploration and discovery. The bill specifically acknowledges the crews of Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia, recognizing their contributions to the advancement of space science for the benefit of all.

By establishing this commemorative day, the bill aims to foster awareness and appreciation for the sacrifices made by those involved in NASA's missions. The designation serves as a reminder of the risks associated with space exploration and the importance of honoring the legacy of those who have contributed to this field.
