## Summary

**Would designate the week of October 4–10, 2025 as World Space Week to raise public interest in space science and technology.** It would back the United Nations' international celebration and highlight the 2025 theme “Living in Space,” focusing on life support systems, space habitats, human adaptability, and using resources beyond Earth. The resolution would encourage K‑12 students and the public to join local and national events, and it recognizes the roles of NASA, NOAA, USGS, NSF, the National Park Service, and the Department of Energy in driving research, innovation, and education in Earth and space sciences.
