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, as well as the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia, highlighting their contributions to the advancement of space science for the benefit of all.

By establishing this commemorative day, the bill aims to foster public awareness and appreciation for the sacrifices made by those involved in NASA's missions. The recognition of "NASA Day of Remembrance" serves as a reminder of the risks associated with space exploration and the dedication of individuals who have contributed to humanity's understanding of the universe.
