Trump signed a bill that drives funding to NASA. The funding that NASA will receive is about 19 billion dollars. The average cost for a rocket launch is about 1.5 billion dollars. The research and experiments eat up a lot of the 19 billion dollars. NASA has launched about 135 rockets since they were started in 1958. Space exploration has always been a controversial topic. Going to Mars and maybe starting a colony on Mars has been a dream of many, but many people do not think that space exploration is a waste of money and the United States should not do it anymore. Elon Musk's Space X is a revolutionary company because they created a rocket that can go into orbit and come back down and either land on land or on a barge in the ocean. This is really amazing because this has never been done and most defiantly not a a barge in the ocean that is moving because of the waves.

I believe in space exploration and going to Mars because out planet cannot last forever. I chose this article because this topic interests me and it was recently written. What is your opinion on this topic and has your views changed over the years?

  5. I agree that supporting the space program is very important for many reasons. I find that it will help us to find out problems like was there ever life on Mars and to discover other planets.

  6. I support the grant to give the space program money because it allows us to know more about the universe we live in.
