The United States spends over $20 billion a year on space exploration through NASA. Do you think that this has been worth the co
st? In three to five sentences, provide two specific examples of things we have learned from space exploration, and explain how these examples influence your opinion.(4 points)
Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?
I think it refers to worldwide mutual dependence between nations/countries as we depend on each other for the key things like food etc. on a worldwide level.
Using a maps scale most of the time involves some math. Usually you'd take a distance on the map (in inches) and multiply it to whatever that maps scale is, for example 1:500. A maps scale is used to show larger distances on a map in a ratio form to show the real ground distance. Showing 10 miles on a single piece of paper would be rather difficult if there weren't a scale
