Much space science research is concerned with what we would consider basic science: finding out about the origin of the universe, exploring other planets, studying how space phenomena affect Earth, and investigating the potential for life elsewhere in the universe. Often, space program research yields new discoveries with applications elsewhere. Each year, the federal government spends approximately $4 billion (0.15 percent of the total budget) on space science research. If you were in charge of the federal budget, would you increase or decrease funding for space science or continue to fund it at its current level? What are some aspects of this research on which you would place greater emphasis?
