Similar to the President\u2019s State of the Union, the speech layouts the goals that NASA will attempt to achieve this coming year and years after. It also is an expected time to announce updates on some of NASA\u2019s major projects like Artemis and the James Webb Space Telescope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NASA is planning on live-streaming Nelson\u2019s first public speech since being confirmed on their YouTube channel today at 3 p.m. EDT.
