What Nasa Needs To Do To Save Money

Do you know what NASA needs to do?  They need to get there stuff together and learn how to operate in space without using so much damn money.  Seriously, the cost for space travel shouldn’t cost billions of dollars.  There can be ways to cut down the cost of space travel.  First off, don’t hire so many people to work for NASA.  Honestly, they don’t need all those people they hire!  What do they even do? Shine shoes?  Clean carpets?  They just need to hire the people they really need and the people who really put the critical thinking into space exploration travels.  Obviously, they need to employee the spacecraft designers and builders.  Without them, none of the travels into space would be possible.  They also need to hire the astronauts who they trust and are very knowledgeable about space.  They are a key success to what knowledge we gain from the outer depths of space.

Another way they can cut down their funds for space exploration is by using a different fuel source that doesn’t cost so much money.   Currently and in the past NASA has been using rocket fuels to boost the rocket out into the atmosphere of space.  A new idea they have put on the table is by using photovoltaics to power ion-thrust engines into space and this idea is WAY more affordable.  In this economy and with the huge United States debt, this is a great thought.  Adding cheaper fuel to our rocket ships will allow the ships to take many more voyages.  This fuel source is also a lot lighter then rocket fuel which will allow for further travels out into space.  This idea for a new fuel source and hiring just the people they need, not all the extras is a good way for the NASA team to save money.  By doing some of these things I mentioned could possibly lead to a better base and knowledge of life out in space.
