Lets astronauts get rides home for medical care after space missions
This bill would let NASA provide government transportation for astronauts and space flight participants after their missions. This is mainly for medical check-ups and treatment before they can safely drive themselves. Currently, rules generally restrict using government vehicles for travel to and from home, and NASA lacks clear authority for this specific need.
Today, rules generally stop government vehicles from taking employees to and from home, and NASA doesn't have clear power to do this for astronauts after missions. If this bill passes, NASA would be able to use government vehicles to transport astronauts and space flight participants for post-mission medical needs, even to and from their homes, overriding existing restrictions.
