Answer from Patrick J. Buchanan:
NASA Achievements Benefit Life On Earth
Space exploration is important for our nation to continue.
I believe we must direct the space program toward efforts that will improve our lives on earth. Scientific and medical research must be a priority as well as achieving a space-based missile defense system that will enhance our national security.
NASA also plays an important role in the advancement of the aviation industry. Research and development of new aircraft that will make air travel safer, faster and more affordable must be continued.
