Benefits Of De-Funding NASA

Improved Essays
In today's world we are surround by a crumbling society ran by money. If money controls the way our country moves then maybe its time we start to mange it a different way. The debate of DE-funding NASA has come to a end and i agree with the end result we our spending way to much money on something that we have not had a major need for. I agree with the DE -funding of NASA. we should be spending that money on more important government project like the VA , section 8 And foster care I find these programs to be appropriate use of government funding.

The number one thing about NASA is they use 3.9 trillion dollars of the budget in just 2015. That is way to much money to be spending and getting very little back. If 1.6 trillion dollars of the budget

My final example of why the DE-Funding of NASA is a miracle from god is that there has been 50 mission failures since 2014. That has been 50 failures for 3.9 trillion dollars i don't know about you but if i am paying someone to wash my car for a hundred dollars it better not take them 50 times to get it right. When we can get it right on the first try by helping another government project like foster kids. Foster homes are over crowded with the constant build up of kids and it sounds bad but for a kid not to get adopted he takes up a spot for 18 years before he becomes the homeless man on your block.34% of kinds in America are in foster care while we spend trillions of dollars on parts to send to a space station that will more likely fail because of a bird sitting on the shuttle. Just think of the homes that we could build for the kids there they would be stack on top of each other like jenga tower waiting to fall over. We as outsiders can only image the living condition that they have to walk threw almost like jail but with a blanket. Could you image the bathrooms there. Just think about we have a chance now to give kids like this a break they have already come into this world with no parents and zero love how about we show them that someone cares and give them some more of the

    t There has been debates on whether or not NASA’s budget should be increased or cut. Personally, I agree with the people who think their budget should be cut down. Currently, $9.928 billion is spent on Nasa annually and for 2015 they sought $17.5 billion. With that money we could be funding more important causes like world hunger and disease research. Therefore, I believe that NASAs budget should not be expanded due to more important issues that can be resolved with the funding.…

    Take a look as to why this is so. Document 2 contributes to the claim as to why space exploration is bad for the US economy. According to the document, it states, “ It's about $10,000 to put a pound of anything into a near-earth orbit. It costs $500 to $700 million every time the shuttle flies.” The money they are using to do this is tax funds, which are paid by the citizens.…

    Therefore, these issues, out of many, are ones that should be considered most relevant. Many people believe that accomplishments are not reached in space, so why should the government waste money on it? However, I believe there is not enough financial aid given to the space related companies for them to prove themselves, even if they have landed on the moon, six times. In a chart from a 2006 estimate on how each federal dollar is spent, space and technology is stuck with an "All Others" category with only six pennies out of each federal dollar to work with. These six pennies are also shared with many other items, like general government.…

    The idea that money being spent on these programs are simply being drained away isn’t true. The money spent on manned space exploration is spent right here on Earth… The money that is spent goes to manufacturing, research and development, salaries, benefits, insurance companies, doctors, teachers, scientists, students, blue-and-white collar workers, and corporations and businesses both large and small. The money disperses throughout the economy in the same way as many spent on medical research. ”(Source A). With that in mind, one can insure that funding a space program won’t be a waste, as that money will resurface within the economy one way or…

    During the Apollo program, NASA had the Saturn V rocket, the largest rocket ever launched, equipped with the Apollo spacecraft and a lunar lander. At the height of the space race, NASA’s budget was around 4% of the annual budget; the space agency was thriving and doing incredible things. At the rate we were going, humans on Mars seemed not far off. Fast forward 44 years, and the budget for NASA is $18.5 billion annually, just 0.5% of the country’s $3.4 trillion budget. Since 2011, after the final flight of the space shuttle Atlantis, NASA hasn’t even had their own spacecraft to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station; if they need to send people or supplies, they have to hitch a ride on a Russian craft.…

    Take the nearest one dollar bill available to you and imagine it being cut into a hundred squares. Now picture yourself cutting halfway into a single one of those squares, you wouldn't even touch the ink yet. Thats the annual budget for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, more commonly known as NASA, resting at one half of one percent of the US tax dollar. Therefore, I am calling on Trump’s administration and the United States Congress to increase NASA’s funding from its current level, to at least one percent of the annual budget. NASA contributes massive amounts of economic, technological, and inspirational capital to our nation, and I believe their budget should reflect their importance to our modern day society.…

    But aside from being extremely iconic, all these endeavors into the cosmos were the result of significant effort and funding on the part of the United States and other various space agencies. So, they foremost require money, or they will literally not get off the ground. In the United States, the ability of NASA to explore space in a consistent and revolutionary capacity has been limited by a dwindling budget, which took up at its height less than 4.5% of the federal budget and, in the modern day, takes up about 0.5% of the federal budget (Kring). As such, the budget of the space program must be sufficiently funded in order for mankind to enjoy the aforementioned benefits of its efforts. While it may be necessary to divert funding away from space exploration for certain important policy on occasion, funding the space program will almost always benefit technological development, advance scientific knowledge, and inspire millions of…

    The modern times has seen even more NASA budget cuts and a rise in private contractors looking to space. The budget cuts may even be costing the US more than its saving them. A writer from the washington post says “Since the shuttle 's retirement, the United States has been forced to rely on Russia to take its astronauts to the station, an expensive and troubling arrangement that now costs $76 million per seat” (Davenport). There are multiple astronauts on the space station with multiple launches a year, the price of using rockets could severely add up. Most recently in the bid for cheaper space travel are the contracting of private corporations.…
