As Neil Armstrong was the first American to ever step foot onto the moon, but now the space program may be in jeopardy due to significant budget cuts. What would this mean to fellow Americans if space exploration were cut down or completely gotten…
technologies will allow the United States to have an advantage over enemies in areas of communication and national defense.
