An article that caught my eye while browsing The Wall Street Journal webpage, about how the Obama administration plans on raising the funds on military space projects. I found this surprising due to the recent NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) budget cuts from Obama’s administration. The increases are apparently part of a plan to save money over several years by giving them a chance to make satellites cheaper to make. I find this important because I feel the United States should not lose it’s grip on space. The satellite projects were unable to work with the past budget but with the fund increase the projects should be able to prosper. With better satellites the government will be able to extend its communications in space, we do not want to fall behind the other countries space programs after all. Space projects need to be well funded because we need to think about the future, I feel like space will be an essential part.
