Oh my goodness! You won't believe it...
A major US news outlet wrote a positive story on space, and it's not even on exploration! It's about the incredibly positive life-changing side effects that actual taxpayers get from the space program. No, we don't know what's coming when we do space R&D, but we do know that it has consistently had outcomes that have unquestionably improved life on Earth. NASA discovers amazing things and processes (or pays other people to), then gives them away to companies that want to develop it into something that will go on to make them rich and help (or at least convenience) humanity. That's how we roll.
Thank you, ABC News, for doing some real research and writing a great story!

An Oklahoma student's experiences in NASA and international space programs...
I've worked at NASA JSC, Ames, MSFC, and GRC. I've been involved with ISU, Space Generation, Next Generation Exploration Conference, and more; I've mentored for Texas Aerospace Scholars and Intl Space School and helped with NASA's Reduced Gravity Flight program. Basically, I love the idea of space exploration, and I'm dedicating my career to sharing that passion.
