Why is NASA having these thoughts on backing down on space exploration? We have spent SO much money already on going to the moon, building space ships, building an international space station, supplying millions of people with jobs, supplies to build rovers, and so many more investments have been made. The list could go on for days on end and still no conclusion on why we back down on future space travels.
I honestly think we need to keep in mind how much money we have put down on the table already and why not keep space travels alive. I know its billions of dollars to go into space, but we really don't need to spend that much money. There is more cost efficient ways to do things and NASA needs to get their heads out of their butts; just buy and pay who they REALLY need to pay. The salaries of all their employees is a big part of the cost on funding NASA. Why not just hire the people they really need and not all the people they don't.
Then again, I see their perspective on things too. It does make sense to drop out of space exploration because of how much of a debt were in. It costs so much money to send people out into space and build these huge space ships, while keeping in mind the cost for rocket fuel is tremendous. It's just a reasonable decision on the United States part too because how much more will we really discover in space. Is there even life out there or things that could help our planet in the future? It's a huge toss up and huge decision on whether or not to spend the money on more space travels. Is it really worth getting so much further in debt? Will we really discover something worth the money? These are questions every person should ask themselves before hating on the governments decisions. Who knows, maybe we will still travel into space and keep the NASA program alive. Only time will tell now and all we can do is wait........
