Which is why the American people have voted to all but shut down NASA and stop paying for what they see as a pointless space program. However the wealth in knowledge past and current space travels and explorations have brought us, along with the thousands of technological advances and by far the most important the survival …show more content…

Now before you go out and purchase your doomsday bunker today, space exploration should definitely be given another through …show more content…
Even more, development of Firefighters protective clothing, leading research on artificial limbs and many advances in computer software can all be traced back to NASA (Spinoff
