The Future of NASA and Space Exploration
There has been a lot of speculation over the last 4 or 5 years about what NASA plans to do in the future. There are many people out there who suggest that they lack the funds to do any real work and are worried that perhaps the future of the space program has come to a halt. On the other hand, there are plenty of people who feel that NASA plans to issue much work involved in future projects to the private sector, making them vital once again. Either way it is looked at, something needs to be done about the space program because it is one of the things that differentiates the United States of America from other countries out there.
We have always been on the cutting edge of space exploration technology and the fact that our current weak economy has crippled this aspect of our culture is unfortunate. There are many things that NASA plans to do which might help, however. It looks like they will be sending more work to private corporations and seek funding from large businesses for future projects. The effects of this choice are currently unknown, but we can certainly hope that it works out in the end.
