Does anyone think NASA is a waste of time and money?

Question

We could spend it elsewhere for a better cause.

Answer 1

Absolutely not. NASA's satellites help us learn more about the universe and our own planet. Through NASA's mission to planet earth program, we are learning about global warming, volcanic and seizmic activity and quite a few other subjects affecting our world. This information will help us in the future to predict major events sooner like hurricanes and earthquakes and also to determine the non-natural human causes of things like the hole in the ozone layer so we can determine what we can do to protect our environment.

Answer 2

WHAT do we do with all the engineers and scientists that the defense contractors do not need at the moment if nasa goes bye bye .We have to have a place for all the people we graduate from colleges with these degree's.THEY do actually provide many of us with the things they have developed only 20 years latter when some one else makes it public that they to have come up with it.TILL then it is defense department classified and know one may use the info they come up with .NASA is like a pressure release valve for defense contractors so we always have a place for scientists
