•Technological Spin-offs: Drug research, fluid dynamics
studies, much more efficient power generation and life support systems have
had to be designed, which save power, are more efficient and over time much cheaper than current
systems on earth.
•Human inspiration: To remain stagnant, is to admit the
utter defeat of all mankind. The Apollo era’s mission to put a man on the moon
united all of the Earth, These space programs also inspire the younger
generation to pursue science careers that can spin-off to create new
discoveries and technologies bettering all mankind.
•The Gains are worth the
Risks!!!
•For example, next time you use Google Maps
on your phone to get somewhere, you can thank our Space Program and the D.O.D.
•Or, the metal beams in this building we’re in is most likely coated in fire
retardant
material developed to protect capsules during re-entry.
