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) 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 humanity.

By establishing this commemorative day, the bill aims to foster public awareness and appreciation for the sacrifices made by NASA personnel in the field of space exploration. The designation serves as a reminder of the risks involved in space missions and the importance of honoring those who have dedicated their lives to this noble cause.
