Space Exploration
Why are people upset about NASA and their space exploration program? I am going to write about the reasons behind many people oppose space exploration and why many people encourage space exploration. This topic is of interest to me because as a people who wanted to explore space and believes that space exploration is important, it is an issue that needs to be addressed and needs to be funded again.
