In 2022 Congress’ increased NASA’s annual budget by 3% to about $24 billion, short of the 7% increase the Biden administration sought. The budget includes $1.5 billion in funds for the moon-lander program which would, for the first time in decades, take astronauts back to the lunar surface.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
Yes
@9FG2GZ6 8mos8MO
new theories come about of space and dertermines out future, we also must learn about space threats towards earth
@9F7B5LD8mos8MO
yes, being able to find a new planet imagine the military budget with nasa how far advance could have we have been
@9G3KSWH7mos7MO
We need space travel to prepare for the future of humanity and the government is the best way to raise money for it.
@9FBJ45K8mos8MO
We have scientific data that there are exo planets that exist in the habital area of there system and terraforming other planets could be possible if we expand our resourses and research.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
Yes, and drastically increase NASA’s current budget
@9FL89SJ 8mos8MO
The amount of technology in one’s cellphone, in household products like teflon in pans and more all came from technology that was initially studied in space, and then spun off. If we want humanity’s technological development to continue, especially in flight, transportation and the ability to survive and thrive during disasters and in non ideal conditions we have to keep investing in the agency with the track record of developing such technology we all will find we’re benefiting from in 50 years time
@9GW4QYG6mos6MO
NASA is far from a necessary program as cool as it is. It should definitely not be a priority of the government which should rather focus on maintaining the world we have right now.
@9FLB4D48mos8MO
NASA is the best equiped company with the longest history in space exploration. while our governments continue to argue over the viability of our planet we should be forging ahead with space exploration to not only create an American foothold in space but also to have a contingency plan in case our planet is no longer habitable.
@9FNP8R4Peace and Freedom8mos8MO
There is no use in increasing NASA's current budget, if there are people who need it to survive. NASA should currently provide more into the environment then on space.
@9CJ6CB67mos7MO
They use their own technologies to help us measure the environment too, NASA's range is wide and has a massive lack of funding. We need to at the very least triple it's funding to make it a competitive option, as we hardly spend 1/200 of our budget on space travel as a whole.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
No, we should focus on saving the Earth instead of leaving it
@9GW4QYG6mos6MO
The climate is going in the tubes and nothing is really getting done about it. Throw money from NASA at the climate.
@9LZ76K82wks2W
Understanding and exploring space IS important work but I feel it is MORE important to save OUR PLANET and do all the things we need to in order to concentrate on that more than ever!!!
@9FNP8R4Peace and Freedom8mos8MO
Earth is being damaged by the contamination and natural disasters, that are being provoked by our own actions.
@9GYWVLR 6mos6MO
space is nice, we have gps and sattalite television, but ultimately everyone lives on earth and earth is far more important.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
No
@9FRDVZT7mos7MO
NASA deserves to be able to explore space. We need to find out more about or solar system so that we can be protected from it and be able to find a new home other than earth in case it fails.
@DanielKolbin1105Independent 7mos7MO
I definitely agree figuring out the universe and exploring matters, but we should also focus on solving problems here on Earth which I don't think we aren't doing enough of.
@WelfareKangaroo7mos7MO
That's a valid point, but it's crucial to remember that many advancements from space research have led to solutions for earthly problems. For instance, technology developed for Mars rovers has been adapted to create autonomous vehicles that could revolutionize transportation. Do you think there's a way to strike a balance between space exploration and addressing earthly concerns, such as using space technology for Earth's benefit?
@9FMXHDZRepublican8mos8MO
I think that learning where we are and figuring out the universe we live in matters a lot. I also think with exploration of space we can develop technology, prevent us from things like astroids and possible eruptions.
@9GTTSNKIndependent6mos6MO
Space travel has, in the past, given the general public insurmountable good in terms of scientific and technological advancements. It is also our duty to expand into space in order to ensure more economic opportunities in the extreme long term.
@9GN9Z7B6mos6MO
Space exploration reaserch has developed very important technologies we use every day regardless of space exploration. We know a lot more because of space exploration. Its also a place of untapped potential
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
No, the government should leave human space travel to private companies
@78MRXTHIndependent 6mos6MO
I believe that the government and commercial industry have a duty to collaboratively work with one another to ensure that the safest, cleanest, and most efficient modes of travel and industry are used to reach the stars. The government needs to ensure that planetary bodies are not exploited without regard to any naturally existing biomes and with respect to all governing entities. Space absolutely needs to be 100% de-militarized. The government alone does not have the budget to operate independently in space travel. It needs to focus on providing the astronauts and performing the science while commercial parties focus on producing the necessary vehicles and equipment.
@9GTGLTW6mos6MO
The government should not interfere with the interests of private space exploration companies and the government should only fund their own space travel programs once they get more important issues solved first
Space exploration is a global advancement, and shouldn’t have to be stressed on private companies if it is something everyone gains knowledge of.
@9G8D5B47mos7MO
Government space exploration kickstarts STEM involvement in the US, setting the foundation for a future America.
@9FRDVZT7mos7MO
Why would they? The government knows how important it is for us to do this. Why should we rely on private travel when we can give NASA and SPACEX the money knowing that they will be successful and bring us information and accomplishment.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
No, not until we drastically decrease our federal deficit
@9HP9BKNRepublican5mos5MO
The amount of money we use on Space Exploration is crazy to find ways to go to outer space even though it won't happen against to launch for who knows how long and we unload money on it.
@9CJ6CB67mos7MO
It's hardly a dent in our budget, let alone the deficit.
I'm just trying to get my homework done but look up our federal deficit. And then look up what exactly increasing the NASA budget will do. I think it's pretty self explanatory.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
No, the government should not fund any space exploration missions
@9GHDY6F 7mos7MO
Space Explorations missions are vital to the future of our species, it will allow us to find more resources and to colonize more lands.
@9FG2GZ6 8mos8MO
Space exploration is a larger contribution to humans on Earth, were running out of space and items on Earth, we must seek out to space.
@9FPDNXQIndependent8mos8MO
Many of our highest collaborative actions, innovations, and our collective imagination have been influenced by our traveling amongst the stars.
@9FBJ45K8mos8MO
Space exploration is our key to humanity even having the possibility to have a longer future. Our own planet is not going to be habitable forever and nethier is our solar system. Plus expanding our knowlage of the universe will give us better understandings of our surviveiblity in the know universe.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
@8M3N9NW4yrs4Y
yes, but we should focus more on saving the earth than space
@8CVTXN4New Liberty4yrs4Y
NASA should support private business like SpaceX
@9CJ6CB67mos7MO
But nationalize the industry once they gain the technological advancement to actually make bases on Mars. I will never trust a company to colonize dead planets without the profit motive coming first in their minds.
@4Z5RZ4P4yrs4Y
I believe as a planet, humanity should come together to work on a very big and potentially expansive project, one not meant for colonization, but more so for exploration.
I believe a station should be built (looking much like the death star) that contains multiple habitats, buildings, etc. to house the human race and all known life forms on earth in its genetic and physical make-up, and we should go out, explore the many different planets to discover other intelligent life to learn what we can from them, to expand our own intelligence and understanding of the universe.
@96259PT2yrs2Y
No, because we should focus on saving the Earth instead of leaving it and also NASA has also admitted that it's space programs and travels have been a falsification for years.
@95P6HN42yrs2Y
No, we should focus on saving the Earth instead of leaving it and also NASA has also admitted that it's space programs and travels have been a falsification for years.
@8TMFV7P2yrs2Y
Yes, but only after we eliminate our deficit
@9368TW22yrs2Y
Yes, and drastically increase NASA’s current budget, but not until we drastically decrease our federal deficit. Plus, we should also focus on saving the Earth and only leaving it as a last resort to save all of the Eukaryotes.
@9C8P5X811mos11MO
No, but we should focus on saving the Earth instead of leaving it and also NASA's space programs and travels have been a falsification for years.
