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?
Today the world's population is 7.5 billion. The world's population is changing because of the natural increase rate. The natural increase rate is the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate. Since the crude birth rate is higher than the crude death rate today, this would lead to a higher natural increase rate.
