The new legislation will establish the Public Private Talent Exchange Program (PPTE) within NASA to help partnership opportunities between government and aerospace businesses.\n\n\u201cThe road back to the moon and to Mars runs directly through Ohio \u2013 that\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to introduce this important legislation with Rep. Max Miller, Sen. Sherrod Brown, and Sen. Marco Rubio,\u201d said Rep. Sykes. \u201cOur bill will allow NASA to better fulfill its missions by authorizing a public-private talent exchange program, through which NASA and private industry professionals will have the chance to exchange technical expertise and operational best practices, ensuring that America\u2019s space and aerospace industry remains the best and most innovative in the world.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe days of a giant government program dominating the space industry are over,\u201d said Rep. Miller. \u201cToday, NASA and industry are driving technological developments that will carry the U.S. into the future, and this legislation is going to make it easier for them to work together more collaboratively on critical projects.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe story of modern aviation was written in Ohio \u2013 and this bill will help ensure that we continue to lead the country into the next frontier,\u201d said Sen. Brown. \u201cBy spurring collaboration between NASA and our aerospace businesses, we will ensure that Ohio workers are the ones creating the technologies of the future.\u201d\n\n\u201cFrom Apollo to Artemis, space exploration is fueled by NASA\u2019s ingenuity and the dynamism of its private sector partners,\u201d said Sen. Rubio. \u201cThe partnerships lower costs and are crucial to maintaining American leadership in space. I am proud to introduce the NASA Talent Exchange Program Act to continue cultivating vital partnerships to unlock the potential of American innovation.\u201d\n\nThe Public Private Talent Exchange Program would be a professional development program focused on giving NASA and industry professionals an opportunity to gain exposure and experience in a number of areas. The exchanges will last between three months to two years with options to extend for an additional year.\n\nThe Program is modeled after a similar initiative that the Department of Defense has operated since 2018. That program allowed the Department of Defense to forge partnerships with private sector companies and swap business practices for the betterment of both parties.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://sykes.house.gov/media/press-releases/sykes-miller-brown-rubio-introduce-new-bipartisan-bill-advance-innovation"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8364962413907051, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
