Present Links

In these paragraphs, I will feature and detail a couple links that are pretty interesting as to the condition and position of our Space program.

NASA Takes Giant Leaps on the Journey to Mars, Eyes our home planet and the Distant Universe, Tests Technologies and Improves the Skies Above in 2014: This web article details many of the most recent achievements that have been made by NASA. it looks forward to what is in in store for years to come, and is a nice way to reflect on the many achievements NASA has as a space agency. Fear not however, because the video and article detail some of the up and coming new projects that NASA is getting involved with. The type of missions that galvinize countries, such as a Mission to Mars, landing on an Asteroid, and other projects of that stature. http://www.nasa.gov/press/2014/december/nasa-takes-giant-leaps-on-the-journey-to-mars-eyes-our-home-planet-and-the

NASA Spinoff Technology Homepage: This is a webpage I frequented while I was in the writing process of creating my Research Paper as a part of Capstone. Poke around and see some of the inventions that have come from NASA, as a side effect of the type of groundbreaking research and technological breakthroughs they have on a regular basis. Many of the things we have today that we take for granted are here because organizations like NASA constructed and discovered the likes of the materials that make up the objects we take for granted. http://spinoff.nasa.gov/

NASA TV: This link is a fairly new addition to NASA's website, an online channel that plays NASA-related videos all day every day, involving topics ranging from science competitions in early education, all the way up to documentaries detailing future NASA missions and showing some live footage of various activities NASA is engaging in. http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html

Penny4NASA: One of my favorite current websites, the creators of this webpage have devoted their time to making a plea for NASA having a larger spending budget. As it stands currently, NASA's budget is below 1/2 of a penny on the tax dollar, and back in the golden ages of space exploration during the 60's and 70's NASA's budget flew all the way up to 4%. Imagine all the good we could do with just one penny. If you're interested at checking out the website or even supporting the cause, here it is. http://www.penny4nasa.org/

HubbleSite - Gallery: The visuals featured on this website are absolutely astounding, and after all expected being received from Hubble's incredible photo capabilities. Not only that, looking at some of Hubble's other accomplishments and features are pretty amazing as well, and the layout is fun to look around at. http://hubblesite.org/gallery/
