I grew up right smack dab in the middle of the space program. My dad was a NASA engineer during the Apollo era, so it was a huge part in my growing up years. What an exciting time! Don't our government leaders not realize how important the space
program has been? Not to mention the jobs, but the way we live today,
the comforts we so enjoy–microwave ovens, computers, television,
internet, satellite, news, weather, safer sports equipment, our modern automobiles, cell phones, food, clothing, medical advancements…I could go on forever…are all due to the space program. I sure hope they think twice before they cut the space program!
