Here's the summary of "Putting NASA’s budget in perspective"(Jeff BrooksMonday, July 2, 2007)
Most people think it's important to solve basic life problem rather than going into the space.But there's a very interesting found:For every $1 the government spends on NASA, at the same time $98 on social needs. In other words, if we reduce the funding on social programs by just 1% which is exactly $1, we can get a double NASA’s budget!!That means the government cost a huge amount of money on basic life and spend a very little on Nasa which even does not grow much in recent years.Even the percents of the whole budge goes down . That it achieves so much with such a small share of the federal budget is astonishing.
If the NASA get a high level of support , it can do much better and much more things.
My opnion:
From this article we can konw that the government do spend a lot in basic life and the people should not require the government to remove the outerspace funding to the basic life any more , because it is such a little share of the "budge pie"and can help nothing,and we should agree to encourage the space exporation and give it a higher level of support.It is also very important.The outer space reseach contributes to scientific developments. It will help aerospace ,new energy technologies in our daily life as well, all of which are very useful for humanity;To have a brilliant future. it should be encouraged
