Reply #22: So Goes The Space Program, So Goes Technological Advancement

[PNutt]

It was the NASA space program and it's unrealistic goal to send a man to the moon in the 1960's that led to such advancements as the personal computer, new metal alloys, printed circuit boards, microchips, advanced communications, food preservation, and so many others that all are commonplace in our daily lives today. The ending of the space program signifies the end of technological advancement for our next generations to come. Surely, an alternative fuel system could come from further space research. The GOBP are getting their way on this one.........do it their way, or don't do it at all. I am left to wonder how much of the military's budget it would take to continue the space program.
