Nasa 's The Space Of Space

the manned space flight program is quickly reaching extinction. It marks a sharp contrast with the Apollo space program that at its peak captured the American imagination. David L. Chandler reports of that time, “With goose bumps and white knuckles, people followed the crackly radio reports of that first lunar footfall, and they lionized its heroes with tickertape parades” (Chandler, 1). Now, there is none of that level of interest in the space program. In a short span of time, space travel became

at the NASA Ames Research Center hoping for an internship. This must be really expensive and it does not seem like there is a limit to how many astronauts they are looking for. It is also surprising that I only have to pay $1000 to sign up as long as I do not have a criminal record or any suspicious reason to leave the planet. The fine print warns applicants of possible risks during the mission. But with my knowledge of the Earth and Space Sciences, I will know most of the effects of space flight

sometimes wish they could go out so space through tourism, right? Well, with the privatization of space travel, they could. It would be beneficial to privatize it, although some are against it. This is because of NASA’s current funding outline, economical reasons, and the benefits of space tourism. NASA’s funding outline is not exactly what someone would expect. It is more focused on earth science, to the point where they are just barely hanging onto their space travel plans, and if that was not enough

people 's passion to learn about space has enlarged, many space groups and administrations have flourished. Thus many people have began to take on the role to try and go beyond the limits of the planet we live in, in other words, explore space. However, time has shown that in order to reach such achievements, great amounts of money are needed. Furthermore, over the past few years the U.S has been contributing to one of the world 's largest air and spacecraft administration, otherwise known as NASA by

“That 's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. Neil Armstrong 's 1969 lunar landing was one of humanity 's greatest accomplishments. Since then, we have found that an infinite supply of knowledge and resources await us just outside our atmosphere. Today, however, critics are beginning to argue more and more that the cost of space exploration is too high, and therefore new technological developments should be left to the private sector rather than the taxpayers pockets. Some feel

Aeronautics and Space Administration has a difficult task. It must convince U.S. taxpayers that space science is worth $16.25 billion a year. To achieve this goal, the agency conducts an extensive public-relations effort that is similar to the marketing campaigns of America 's biggest corporations. NASA has learned a valuable lesson about marketing in the 21st century: to promote its programs, it must provide entertaining visuals and stories with compelling human characters. For this reason, NASA issues a

NASA and space have been talked about ever since the first moon launch when that ended, people started to question why space programs are still being funded? Some think that the funding should stop and others believe that it should continue. The government uses taxpayers money just to see an expensive rocket go up into the sky then blow up wasting billions of dollars, then repeating the whole process again. Researchers think that the money used for rockets should be invested in oceans or be privatized

“Space, the final frontier (Wise, Star Trek)” The goal of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is “to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before” (Star Trek). Since the moon landing in 1968, the federal government has consistently decreased funding for space exploration, with the exception of a small increase in the 1980’s to accommodate the shuttle program. If NASA was shut down entirely the last 60 years will have

different than space debri, pose a threat to space missions and astronauts. Manny previous missions have left orbital debris in their wake. Most of the debris are left up there until they are pulled toward earth by gravity and then destroyed by earth 's atmosphere. Until then the space junk is left to orbit around the earth. The amount of debri continues to grow quicker than the earth can destroy it. Leaving the debri to sit up there unchecked poses dangers for astronauts and space missions both

earth, we begin to look toward space. Exploring space is an enormous challenge that requires brilliant minds and leaps forward in technology. In order for space exploration to be successful we need it to be a priority. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has long been a pioneer in the field of space exploration, but due to changing political attitude it is at risk to lose much of its funding. NASA should not have its funding reduced because: NASA develops the technology that benefits
