New NASA Project Announced

I have always had a love for NASA and the space program. I found this article interesting and informative. I have been watching this programs development for the last few months and had thought that we where going to loose it. To read the story click here

As we all know NASA has been in the process of creating a new project. I was wrong because I thought that the main reason for this plan was to go back to the moon and then eventually get to Mars. According to the news report that was released on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 NASA administrators have gone in front of Congress with the designs and plan for a new rocket to get man to Mars.With the design of this rocket and the announcement of the program, a huge problem is going to arise. Money, they US government is running out of it but this project is going to need a large amount of money. The article states that NASA has been known to go over budget on project before, and I am sure that this is going to be no different. The question is is the risk worth it?

I think it is. As a supporter of NASA, I believe that this project is going to create a massive amount of jobs and will be a great investment. This project, like the one forty years ago will bring inspiration to the American people and knowledge to the human race. Over forty years ago NASA and the American people launched a program that would put our nation in the spotlight and ahead of the space race. This project not only boosted moral of the American people, but created jobs, and made childhood dreams come true. It also brought us a massive amount of information about the moon and what we could do there if needed. If this project goes though, we will again have a result like this. Even though congress is having a budget problem. If they cut this program they will have to answer to the American people as to why we are not doing our best to create jobs, and in a government agency no less.

You get this response from me because like I said, I am a big supporter of NASA. The massive amount of jobs that will be created will help out the economy by decreasing the unemployment line and putting moral back in the American people. This project gives us a new goal to work toward and the awe of the plan we are putting into motion.

As always this is just my opinion. This blog has been created for my English class.
