They are conducting hundreds, if not thousands of tests that can only be done in space for long periods of time. One of those tests is trying to cure cancer. Another test is for learning about human tissue. Other tests include getting to know Earth better. Getting rid of NASA would mean getting rid of the Hubble Telescope. The Hubble Telescope already has disproven theories on how the universe began. I know God created the universe, but I like the idea of having a glimpse on just how it occured. We have many things because of NASA. The Doppler Radar, MRI, home security systems, and MANY more. http://www.thespaceplace.com/nasa/spinoffs.html <BR/>That site says that 0.8% of the nation's budget goes to the space system. The space shuttle is an international place. I like the idea of working with other countries instead of fighting them. I think space is a great way to get someone to think about God and get away for the "ordinary" on Earth. When Apollo 3 (?) looked back on Earth, they quoted Genesis. I wonder what may be stirred in an individual that visits Mars. Even C.S. Lewis in The Screwtape Letters says that science can bring many people to God. In my opinion, it would be far more costly to get rid of NASA than to stop exploring God's grand universe.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658970201031150831noreply@blogger.com
