Fighting for Space!







"We've been there before," Obama said of the moon. "There's a lot more of space to explore and a lot more to learn when we do."
Everyday we see something that is from space. If it is in a movie, at school or at home, you’ll come across object or visuals that is space related. All these things come from the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA). Lately Barack Obama stopped giving money from the government to the NASA space program for going to the moon. He found the expenses that they had to cover too expensive especially since America is in debt and needs to spend their money carefully. If we cancel the space program/exploration we can't discover new evidence and data, will have a lot of people jobless and men will not have an escape if something goes wrong with the earth. From space you can find out a lot of new information that can change the future.

In space the astronauts discover new evidence and data that can change object on earth. Astronauts started to get a blurred vision after they stayed in space for a long time. Scientist have discovered ‘’anticipation glasses’’. When the astronauts start to get poor vision they can wear the glasses so that their eyes are still strong and they can continue with the work that they are doing. People on the earth itself can wear these glasses as well. Also from space they figured out that metal would attach to each other if both ends touch each other. This would mean that if you were to have two very important pieces and you put them together, you would have to go back to earth to get them made again. Also this is very handy because you don’t have to play around with screws when working with metals in space because they would attach by itself. If we stop finding out these facts we could not improve on further space flights in the future.


America is in a huge debt right now. Now with firing all the people they are going to be in even bigger problem. In NASA there is about 18 thousand people working on all the missions. These people include all the people who build the shuttle/rocket, all the astronauts and all the people around and in the company. Since Obama decided to cancel the moon missions, a lot of these people are going to be fired and they will be jobless. Now you have an even bigger problem because there will be about 18,000 people jobless adding onto the people that already have money issues. Now the government needs to pay all these people so that they can live properly. Even thought the NASA program cost a lot of money they still won’t be able to save a much money as they need to get out of their dept zone. America will eventually get over their economical issues and they will restart the space program. This will cost them so much money to set the company up again. Now you can see how canceling the space program won't get them out of their debt and will make them pay even more in the future. That is one reason why the space program is worth fighting for.


If we don’t research about information in space we will have nowhere to go when the resources run out on earth. When men need to leave earth because of dramatic reasons, the only way out is space. Space will be the future world for the people. The earth can’t keep giving all the people resources and the people can’t keep destroying the earth. If we stop researching about space, we will have no idea how everything is going to work. We won’t be able to live anymore and without research you can’t transport people into space when you don’t even know how they are going to survive. The information will change and change until some point were we won't be able to keep up with the changes of the universe. It is true that every year the moon fades 3cm away from earth. If we don’t keep track of the universe all around us then we will not be able to leave from earth. It is a plan in the future that NASA wants to go to mars. They also said that they might make a stop on the moon so that they can go from earth to the moon to mars. Now if these little pieces of information keeps changing then we won't have a successful missions when we go. I think that fighting for the space program must happen the space changes everyday and everything will go wrong if we want to have more missions.


I think that in the future, the next president will start the missions again and all the people can discover new outcomes, have all the old people working again and they can make plans in case we have to leave the earth. If NASA is going to start to think about going to mars, they better get some more information and research done because stopping the program is not going to help it. I feel really bad for the people that work with NASA because their lives are in these missions and I think quitting the program is like quitting their lives.
"I am 100 percent committed to the mission of NASA and its future," ( Barack Obama)
