Scientists believe they can learn more about the plants and the evolution of the solar system by exploring Pluto and the Kuiper belt. There is not enough new information that we will learn from exploring Pluto and the Kuiper belt. NASA has spent too much time and money on missions to Pluto. In the early days of space exploration a mission to Pluto was actually a main focus for NASA. Between

UFO hunters do not go down easy. They are revisiting one of the most interesting mysteries in space history. A NASA photograph taken some years ago shows a straight line formation of what appear to be some kind of aircraft.

already working to solve those other problems. According to Steven J. Dick (2008) in The Birth of NASA‚ Russia’s launch of the Sputnik satellite in October of 1957 was a source of embarrassment for America. America saw itself as a “leader in aeronautical and space science and technology” and Russia beating them to space was a slap in the face. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was born July 29‚ 1958‚ at the direction of President Eisenhower. At its outset‚ some of NASA’s objectives

Space is for NASA not for Google! Private companies are trying their luck at space travel. One day you could possibly go up into space on a shuttle made by the same brand that makes your cellphone. There are lots of flaws to space privatization including it being unsafe‚ not going to work out long term‚ and the fact that America already has a space program. There have been several failed attempts at space travel by private companies before‚ and most of them looked promising. And most private companies
