  • 5 reasons NASA is da best.
    My five reasons:
    1) Makes Earth a better place
    2) Extinction prevention
    3) Offshoot technology
    4) Economy
    5) Exploration and Imagination

    Summary: 1 in 4 Americans thinks NASA's budget should be reduced. I feel this stems from misunderstandings like how much NASA actually gets in the first place. I tried to shed some light on some of the work NASA does from my personal experience to make a case for why NASA is one of the best investments we make with our tax dollars.

      WillXDGaming
      Have you looked at the stuff that NASA is responsible for? SpaceX is taking already established technologies and making them better. But, without NASA's original efforts SpaceX wouldn't be around today. I hate government spending, but acknowledge that governments can afford to not make money on an endeavor, so NASA might hit a lot of dead ends, but some of those unexplored roads will lead to things like Velcro or memory foam. These are things that profit driven companies might not have ever discovered since a profitable company needs to make money... and it only makes sense that they would invest in items they can market and make profit from.

    This is literally the best thing I've heard all day and struck me in such an amazing way. It's amazing to think that me or one of my friends or another middle schooler/ high school could be the first one on Mars. I love this statement!!

      It says a lot about the average human when most people are more interested in Hollywood gossip than new scientific discoveries. I have to wonder how many brilliant scientists question whether they are really doing the "right thing" by developing technology which enables so many simple minded humans to exist on this planet. How are the humans somehow more important than the dolphins, lions, or rhinos?
