The Signal 
By. Kev Kurdoghlian

La Mesa Junior High School students gathered in the school’s multipurpose room and attentively listened Tuesday morning as International Space Station astronauts provided live responses to questions about space exploration submitted by students from every William S. Hart Union High School District campus. 

...

Students also received encouragement from district Superintendent Mike Kuhlman, Santa Clarita Mayor Bill Miranda and Rep. Mike Garcia, R-Santa Clarita, who is a member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. 

Garcia told students not to underestimate themselves. 

“It’s because of… the interest that you take that will allow us to get to Mars in the next few years, to be able to land the first woman on the moon in the next few years, to continue this massive expedition into space and really prove to the world just how successful we are as Americans.”
