What is human space exploration worth to our nation? A prominent astrophysicist addresses that very question in this video in light of the Administration’s proposed NASA budget, which would essentially abandon U.S. spaceflight. “What does the [proposed White House] program allow? It says we’re not going to the Moon anymore. Maybe we’ll go to Mars one day… I don’t know when… Without a plan to go somewhere outside of low earth orbit, we’ve got no force on the educational pipeline of America. NASA as best as I can judge is a force of nature like none other.” - Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. Take a few minutes to watch what Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson says in this YouTube video about the importance of investing in human space exploration for the future of our nation.
