🚀 SPACE CAREERS AREN’T JUST FOR ASTRONAUTS.

There’s a whole universe of careers that help make space exploration possible — from aerospace engineers and machinists to welders, programmers, meteorologists, graphic designers, physicians, and communications specialists. 🌙✨

With Labor Day just around the corner, it’s a great time to recognize the people who build, create, solve, design, and keep our world moving — including the people helping us reach for the stars.

There are so many ways to be part of the future. 🚀
