The funding for our National Aeronautics and Space Administration is incredibly low, especially when compared to past years, and it is only dropping. At this time we have less than .5 percent of the national budget set aside for the funding of this organizations research, and NASA even faced a possible shut down.
NASA has done so much with so little, and it can only get better with more money to allow more prominent research. The work done by NASA has skyrocketed advancements in technology, medical and health sciences, and nearly all aspects of our every day lives. It only makes sense to increase funding for this branch of the government to further our advancement in all fields.
