What do u think about nasa programs?

It's all a waste of money, but it's a better and more inspiring waste of money than the real drains on the government's budget.  Actually, I'm already having second thoughts on that comment.  Read "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" by Richard Feynman.  Before the Challenger disaster, there were indicators everywhere that the shuttle shouldn't be launched.  Thanks in large part to the beauracracy of NASA, seven astronauts lost their lives.  It's a tough issue, but I still think NASA deserves more funding and attention.

I think you need to contact NASA!!

i dunno, cuz it's kewl, mebbe?\nBTW, imho, this NASA thing is a boondoggle

No it is not\nWe can not ignore all the successfull missions that NASA has performed. What baout the advancement in medical science and other technologies due to the efforts of NASA.\nLet not a few failiures derail us from the right track.

I think it is incredibly wise to spend money on space exploration for several reasons. The first reason is jobs. Thousands are employeed by NASA. These include scientists and engineers who design and conceptualize new means of travel, down to the workers who manufacture these new ships. Then the space program encourages those who study science and engineering. One element to judge a great society it the emphisis it places on technology. The Roman Empire was noted on its advancements in civil engineering and its growth of technology. Next examine the things we take for granted that developed from the space program. Think of the things we use everyday that were developed by Nasa engineers. Velcro and Microwaves come directly to mind and the personal computer was built on the foundations of NASA research. Then finally the most obvious reason is discovery. How do you put a pricetag on knowledge? The more we understand about the cosmos the more we understand about our own world.

the international space station currently has three crewmembers in it should be completed by 2010 with the last missions of the space shuttles. next nasa will go back to the moon by 2020 and plans to leave men their for extended periods of time. after that would come manned missions to mars and then to other planets and moons. we could colonize more of our solar system in the not too distant future, but eventually we will learn the secrets of interstellar travel. Then we can go to other, more earthlike planets across the galaxy and accross the universe. at that point we might even find some other intelligent life. that would be cool.\ngo to nasa.gov, orion is the program that will get us back to the moon and then to mars.

I think they are both great!  They both strive for a larger understanding of life.  ESA does it with less money and politics and NASA keeps going even when they have set backs.

NASA's 2006 budget is in excess of $16 billion. The agency says it understands its fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayer. But by any standard, the space program is wasting many, many millions of dollars. \n\nAnd now, it has its eye on returning to the Moon and a manned mission to Mars. Schatz says that shouldn't be the focus. "Let's just get NASA in shape to do what it's doing now as opposed to expanding its mission into something that's far larger than anything they've done before

I woke up to a news report on the radio about how NASA had lost contact with their shuttle, and there had been reports of falling and burning debris. I was sad.\nHonestly... We should be surprised that things don't go wrong more often. Launching into space is a delicate and dangerous venture. There are far more people who are killed each year by toothpicks than die for the purpose of space exploration. This is something we should be proud of.

I really hope so there was a lot of things that came from the space program that people have forgotten. They were off shoots of the effort to make it to the moon. Computers, cell phones, medical equipment, very some thing that we use in our kitchen have roots in the space program some were failures that could not be use in the space program but found uses here on earth. We need to continue to have science for the sake of discovery. I think that it was in the 17 century that the government of either England are the US funded a project that had not use at the time. The research lead to the discovery of the electron. With out which you would not be reading this message. With space it will be either we do it our other will. The money that will come from space mission in the next 100 year will be greater than the US debt today.

"Best Program" is very subjective.  \n\nThe "best" summer program challenges and involves the student in the same way as those in the regular school year.

Technological advances.\n\nMany of the miniaturized components that we take for granted when we listen to our IPods or film someone with our less than one pound video camera are a direct result of the space program as they need to make components as small and light as possible in order to get the items into orbit.\n\nSome of the compression algorithms that we all use to send large files through the Internet are a result of NASA having to create them to receive data from the damaged Galileo mission to Jupiter.\n\nAre you aware of global warming and the hole in the ozone layer? NASA...\n\nDo you like the fact that weather reports show satellite images of storms headed for you that are currently hundreds of miles away in the middle of the ocean?  NASA...\n\nAre you impressed by cochlear implants that allow deaf people to hear for the first time?  NASA...\n\nEver thrown a Nerf Glider?  NASA...\n\nAs you can see, NASA has done a TON of positive things for Americans.  This just scratches the surface.

It depends on your goal. From your extended question it sounds as if we should be terra-farming extra solar planets. i'm not sure we'll be at that point in another 1000 years, even if we put our minds to it.\n\nOne could argue quite reasonably that our CURRENT space program hasnt achieved much. the space shuttle never accomplished a fraction of what it was designed to do. The space station just kinda goes around and around. \n\nTo type out the statement  "All our efforts so far has yielded no result" on your hyper-fast micro computer connected to a planetary data network is a bit short sighted. Nearly 50 years of space exploration has produced a wealth of technological advancements. \n\nYou also have a few billion years to worry about a place to go when the sun and earth die out. Maybe less for the earth, that's probably addressed in another question.

i dont know\nbut i guess that program is good
