TheUnited States of America has the possibility to be the first country to place a human astronaut on Mars, or possibly even further. Many other countries also have a great chance and some even a far greater chance than U.S. During the 1960’s the budget for NASA was the largest it has ever been. The 2015 budget was the lowest it has been since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped on the moon. Instead of taking money away from NASA the government should be giving more to them and allowing them to expand and collaborate. Many independent groups have risen up to take the reigns on aerospace development, such as Blue Origin and SpaceX. These companies can only have access to so much. With the experience of NASA and their in depth research, …show more content…

The combined efforts of some of the greatest engineers who work for NASA and the visionary mind of Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, can propel the United States of U.S. to take a small step for man, but a giant leap into the future for mankind. The mysteries of deep space and what lies in the unknown can one day be discovered. Humans can one day expand to living outside of planet earth, travel among the stars and attain intergalactic travel. Since the birth of this thought it has only been part of imagination, but NASA is working hard to make it reality. For the human race to make advancements into the future, more research and development needs to be done. If the United States government provided more funding to NASA and SpaceX partnered with them, people everywhere would be traveling among the stars everyday for the …show more content…

Just recently the aerospace company announced they had safely landed the most expensive part of a rocket ship. Adjustments and repairs will need to be made, but up until now this part of the rocket has never been reusable. This is a fantastic goal that the company has achieved. Although, SpaceX are fairly young. NASA, has been around since mid-20th century. The experience that has been acquired from multiple missions is unbelievable. With recent technological advancements. NASA should be able to work more efficient than ever. With all of this combined, the United States would be making strides in space travel for decades to

Thus far NASA had primarily focused on taking baby steps to achieve what they had. While these achievement seem like incredible strides in our eyes, the amount of what remains in the universe to discover is limitless. Although in an ideal world we would have the resources necessary to continue growing at the same rate as during the Space Race, the current high costs of technology had created a roadblock in space travel. Roger D. Launius claims that NASA’s large and ambitious programs failed due to technological challenges and budgetary pressures. Therefore, the question arises; do the benefits outweigh the costs?

Space has helped hone the skills of scientist. By using satellite technology for space, they were able to use the same concept for Earth. Even with all the benefits of space, its major down falls are cost, risks, and low chances of reward for their efforts. Many space explorations cost fortunes with little to come out of it, making it almost seem not worth it. The risk is another key factor, with little known about the majority of space, many outliers can appear out of nowhere and can cause death to anyone that happens to be working up there.
