debating on whether or not the US should fund NASA. They do this in the hopes that their tax dollars could go to something else, such as free health care or free universities. They believe NASA is a waste of time as well as resources and that humans should be focused on the people of Earth—not the stars. When really, NASA is a crucial part of the world humans live in; therefore, NASA’s budget should stay the same if not increased. This is because NASA betters people's lives and even saves some.…

NASA “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Those where famous astronaut Neil Armstrong’s words when he stepped foot on the moon. However, that was only the first step in space exploration. There is no telling what the limits out there are beyond earth. Who sends people to outer space and the moon you might ask? Well, NASA does, they are experts in studying beyond earth. People at NASA are hard working men and women just like everyone else. All that needs to be done, is…

The STS-51-L was a shuttle by NASA that exploded 73 seconds after lift off and killed 7 American astronauts. It takes NASA 1.5 billion dollars to launch a rocket. Therefore, in 73 seconds NASA wasted 1.5 billion dollars and cost us 7 precious lives. Between the years of 1964 and 1999 there have been twenty launches. Within those twenty launches six were failed missions, which in turn lost the U.S $9 Billion. NASA in the future would like to spend about 500 million dollars on each shuttle they…

Neil Armstrong began his career at NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) as well as NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) in Ohio. He first joined NACA in 1955, and was first assigned to be in Cleveland to work with the NACA Lewis Research Center (now NASA Glenn Research Center). When he was driving from Cleveland to southern California, he stopped by northern Wisconsin, where he asked Shearon to marry him and go with him to California. In January 1956, Neil and Janet…

The SpaceNews article; “NASA Still Struggling with Accounting”, by Debra Werner, expressed some of the difficulties that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration encountered leading up to the failed 2009 audit which was conducted by independent auditors, Ernest & Young. The auditors encountered two major discrepancies in NASA’s financial data when evaluating and calculating the value of their largest assets based on estimates. Essentially, there are numerous external and internal…

“Real World Audience” NASA Scientists Faculty/Staff Parents YouTube Audience Engineers Many of my essential questions lend themselves to authentic or “real world” assessments. • How are humans impacted by different space relationships? o Figure out what space relationships we are impacted by and what would happen here on Earth if that did not exist? • How are humans impacted through space exploration? o Have the students research how space exploration has impacted their lives. For example,…

Even though the NASA Space Center could use a space station on the moon or Mars, the children of the United States need that money. Weather that’s to buy food or water, they are in more crucial need of that money. The billions of dollars used to build this International Space Station, could go to the children of poverty. First and foremost, the NASA Space Center in Houston, Texas, already has Space Stations in space. There is no real reason to spend billions on another one on the moon or…

matters worse NASA not only did not return to the moon, but instead focused their resources, time, and effort on the space shuttle program. Which was considered by many to be a failure, however, now with the help of the private sector the…

A NASA shuttle orbiting Jupiter has hit another tangle. The space office said Wednesday that Juno identified an issue, went into protected mode and close off its cameras and instruments hours before it should disregard Jupiter's thick cloud tops. Juno rebooted its installed PC and can speak with Earth, yet its exercises are restricted until designers analyze what turned out badly. "It's too soon to take a figure," however the issue isn't brought on by the exceptional radiation belts…

There is a lot of discussion about whether NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) should or should not fund asteroid studies. I claim that NASA should not fund asteroid studies because it cost too much and takes too long. Basically, it is a waste of time. It is also a waste of money. It is also a chance of failing. NASA plans to send a probe in 2017 to catch an asteroid. Not a lot of people have enough time to sit and wait around for them to build it and then launch it then…
