Many people see Space exploration as a waste of resources Of course, there is the counterargument that scientific discoveries have intrinsic cultural value, that space-related initiatives often foster international cooperation, or that the space sector is of vital technical and economic importance.
But the most effective argument may simply be to point to the plethora of everyday items that would not exist without space research. NASA Spinoff – part of the US space agency’s technology transfer program – collects nearly every commercial technology that originated in US space research. It shows that no space program has had as much impact on everyday life as the Apollo moon missions.
