In this link, it explains everything. Little Connor's petition ran out of time, and I think we should give it another go.
NASA is massively under funded. We need space exploration; what will happen if we wait too long and can't find the things we need to help ourselves in the future? Earth's resources are sometimes finite.
So sign this petition. We want more funding for NASA, not less. Give a child hope that he will be an astronaut someday, and hope to those of us on Earth that we may continue to have what we need to advance in fields of science and medicine.
