Keep NASA and the Space Program!

These days there are a lack of students taking subjects like science, especially physics. It is a difficult subject to grasp, but if we invested money into space exploration we could encourage the young to take such subjects. Excited by the new technology of space; excited by the video footage of a launching rocket, excited into studying physics. Upon getting more young people into studying these subjects, when they qualify we will have a greater ability as a nation to create and invest in new technologies for the electrical goods market. By looking at space travel in this way, we can see how space travel can benefit a nation.
Private companies will never work in the same way as NASA does. The research gained and the expertese would be private, not public for the govt. to use.
