Ever since the beginning of the program, people have been 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.

Now it is time to “boldly go where no man has gone before.” Aerospace engineering has enabled men and women to complete the imaginable. This career consists of two overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aeronautical engineers work with the principles of physics of…
When in Space internet is faster (as long as the device is in range). This can be useful since the internet houses an extensive library on just about anything. Information can be powerful but what will happen when a crew member falls ill or injures himself and there is no available resources to use even if there is data on the subject. On all manned flights the possible Astronauts go through rigorous training to weed out any medical issues but they can still be there. Most conditions are…
