NASA Confirms the Presence of Water on the Moon!
The Moon, as Earth's satellite, has been the focus of space exploration since the dawn of the space age. Man first set foot on the surface of our neighboring planet on July 20, 1969, during the first manned lunar landing ofApollo 11. The detection of water is of fundamental importance: as a building block of life, it could have enabled extraterrestrial beings, but also plays an important role in further space exploration as well as in proposed colonies on the Moon. The following video shows you observations of various research programs over the past decades that led to the detection of water on the Moon.

Civilian Boats Surround NASA-SpaceX Splashdown
As the first manned SpaceX flight’s capsule splashed into the gulf of Mexico, a flotilla of private boats greeted the astronauts. The Coast Guard requested that civilians steer clear of the capsule, in order to ensure that there weren’t noxious fumes in the area as NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken exited the capsule. But at least 20 boats, including one flying a Trump campaign flag, moved closer. #InsideEdition

Splashdown: SpaceX capsule carrying Nasa astronauts lands safely
US astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, who flew to the International Space Station in SpaceX's new Crew Dragon, splashed down in the capsule in the Gulf of Mexico after a two-month voyage. The successful splashdown, the first of its kind by Nasa in 45 years, was a final key test of whether Elon Musk's spacecraft can transport astronauts to and from orbit - a feat no private company has accomplished before

Real Reason NASA Hasn't Sent Humans To Mars
We could have been on Mars 30 years ago. At the peak of the Apollo era in the early '70s, NASA was already planning its next step into the unknown.
Its plans included building multiple space stations, continued trips to the Moon, and the first crewed mission to Mars by the 1980s. Can you imagine watching astronauts walk on Mars the same time the walkmen came out?
But NASA never sent humans to Mars in the '80s. And here we are 30 years later, still dreaming of the possibility. But the reason isn't necessarily a matter of technology or innovation. It actually comes down to politics.
As a government agency, NASA's goals are determined by the Executive Branch. Since its inception, NASA has served under 12 presidents. And it was clear near the start that not every president would support NAS...

We could have been on Mars 30 years ago. At the peak of the Apollo era in the early '70s, NASA was already planning its next step into the unknown.
Its plans included building multiple space stations, continued trips to the Moon, and the first crewed mission to Mars by the 1980s. Can you imagine watching astronauts walk on Mars the same time the walkmen came out?
But NASA never sent humans to Mars in the '80s. And here we are 30 years later, still dreaming of the possibility. But the reason isn't necessarily a matter of technology or innovation. It actually comes down to politics.
As a government agency, NASA's goals are determined by the Executive Branch. Since its inception, NASA has served under 12 presidents. And it was clear near the start that not every president would support NASA equally.
By the end of Nixon's administration in 1974, NASA's budget had plummeted from 4% of the federal budget to less than 1%. Fully-funded Apollo missions 18 and 19 were abandoned along with Apollo 20.
At the same time, Nixon pulled NASA's focus away from the Moon and Mars and instead toward low-Earth orbit. His parting gift was to sign into effect what would eventually become NASA's Space Shuttle program.
Peter Diamandis: "So what's happened throughout all of space history after the Apollo program was over was to start, stop, start, stop, cancel. President comes in like Bush comes in to go to the Moon, back to Mars and next president comes in and cancels that. The agency is unable to sustain consistent funding to do anything."
It wasn't until the Space Shuttle Program was nearing retirement that a crewed mission to Mars was finally considered and funded by a US president.
George W. Bush, in 2004, announced:
"We will give NASA new focus and vision for future exploration. We will build new ships to carry man forward into the universe to gain a new foothold on the Moon."
As a result, NASA's Constellation Program was born. Never heard of it? That's because it was canceled a few years later. It aimed to send a crewed mission to the Moon in 2020 and land the first humans on Mars by the 2030s.
By the time Obama was sworn in, the Constellation Program was behind schedule and over budget. One year later, Obama canceled 100% of the program's funding.
"All that has to change. And with the strategy, I'm outlining today it will." -Barack Obama in 2010.
Obama shifted NASA's focus from sending people to the Moon and Mars to, ultimately, just Mars. In the process, he asked Congress to increase NASA's budget by $6 billion over the next 5 years.
As a result, NASA launched its "Journey to Mars" initiative in 2010, with the goal to send humans into orbit around Mars by the early 2030s. And, until recently, NASA was on track, more or less. Then, this happened.
“President Trump has launched the National Space Council and at the council’s inaugural meeting in October, we unanimously approved a recommendation to instruct NASA to return American astronauts to the moon and from there to lay a foundation for a mission to Mars.” -Mike Pence in 2017
Oddly enough, the space policy under Trump and Obama look nearly identical, save for 63 words. In those 63 words, Trump's administration has shifted the focus once again to a Moon-first, Mars-later initiative.
NASA isn't new to this. It's learned to recycle old projects to fit new missions. For instance, the Orion capsule was first developed for Constellation and has since been redesigned for the Journey to Mars.
But even that can't prevent the inevitable changes NASA programs now face under the new president.
"We're also going to realign the organizational structure to best meet this new exploration focus. I've asked Stephen Jurczyk the current head of space exploration to lead and effort to design a new organizational approach." -Robert M. Lightfoot, Jr. in 2018
As NASA pushes on, a new possibility has grown on the horizon. Privately-owned space companies like SpaceX also has its sights set on the red planet.
Diamandis: "The scientists and engineers at NASA are amazing and they've done extraordinary things. But they're risk aversion...That doesn't allow us to do new and novel things that are on the edge. Doing anything big and bold in space is hard and it's risky. So, it's entrepreneurs taking the risks these days, willing to put everything on the line."
The race for Mars is on. While NASA has closely partnered with SpaceX and other privately-owned space companies in recent years, ultimately, NASA may not be the ones who write the next chapter in human space exploration.

15:26 Learning from Tragedy and Enduring Lessons
The video chronicles the Space Shuttle Program, a pivotal era in NASA's history. It explores the program's triumphs and tragedies, highlighting the importance of learning from mistakes.
A Golden Age of Exploration
The narration opens by describing NASA's golden age, marked by groundbreaking missions like Project Mercury, the Apollo missions that landed humans on the Moon, and the Skylab space station. These achievements solidified the United States' leadership in space exploration.
The Dream of Reusable Rockets
With the Cold War diminishing, NASA's budget declined. To maintain space exploration efforts, they embarked on a revolutionary project: the Space Shuttle Program. These reusable spacecraft would ferry astronauts and cargo into space, making space travel more affordable and accessible.
The Pioneering Space Shuttles
The video details the Space Shuttle's innovative design. Unlike traditional rockets, these "space planes" could be reused after landing like airplanes. They boasted a robotic arm for deploying cargo and living quarters for the crew.
Initial Successes and Underlying Issues
The program launched successfully, conducting missions for various research institutions. However, financial constraints created pressure to launch frequently, leading to potential safety concerns.
A Critical Flaw Ignored
A crucial plot point emerges: a design flaw in the reusable rockets. Engineer Roger Boisjoly identified a dangerous issue with the seals leaking hot gases during cold weather launches. Despite warnings, NASA, pressured by launch schedules and past successes, disregarded these concerns.
The Challenger Disaster
The video reaches a turning point with the Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986. Despite frigid temperatures exceeding safe launch limitations, NASA proceeded. The faulty seal leaked, compromising the rocket's integrity. The Challenger exploded, tragically killing all seven crew members.
Aftermath and Reform
A commission investigated the disaster, revealing the flawed decision-making and the astronauts' likely fate due to the extreme crash forces. NASA implemented safety measures, redesigned the rockets, and established an independent safety office to prevent future tragedies.
Resumption and Columbia's Doom
The program resumed in 1988, successfully completing 87 more missions, including construction of the International Space Station. However, disaster struck again in 2003 with the Columbia space shuttle.
A Missed Opportunity?
During launch, a piece of foam insulation struck the Columbia's heat shield, potentially causing damage. Engineers expressed concern, but NASA downplayed it, prioritizing ongoing experiments over inspecting the damage in space.
Fatal Re-entry
The damaged heat shield proved catastrophic during re-entry. The shuttle overheated, broke apart, and the crew perished. Investigations revealed the astronauts likely suffered from decompression and thermal trauma.
Learning from Tragedy
The Columbia disaster underscored the unforgiving nature of space exploration. NASA tightened safety measures but eventually discontinued the program in 2011.
Enduring Lessons
The video concludes by emphasizing the Space Shuttle Program's legacy. Despite the tragic accidents, the program achieved remarkable feats, expanding human presence in space. The key takeaway is the importance of learning from mistakes and maintaining a strong safety culture to avoid complacency, a critical lesson for any endeavor.

Summary: 1 in 4 Americans thinks NASA's budget should be reduced. I feel this stems from misunderstandings like how much NASA actually gets in the first place. I tried to shed some light on some of the work NASA does from my personal experience to make a case for why NASA is one of the best investments we make with our tax dollars.
