NASA Earth: Powering America's Future

Did you know the very same cutting-edge technology NASA uses to study other planets is exactly what we use to study our own?

From the ground, air, and skies, NASA gathers information crucial to life here on Earth, and we build instruments and technologies and programs that equip the US to meet critical, real-world challenges.

Absolutely, NASA's space technology has had a massive impact across multiple industries. From the obvious applications in space exploration—like satellites that give us GPS, weather forecasting, and global communications—to less direct benefits, the spin-offs are everywhere. Think about materials science: lightweight composites and insulation developed for spacecraft are now used in construction and manufacturing. Or medical tech—NASA’s work on imaging and robotics has influenced tools like MRI machines and prosthetic limbs. Even agriculture’s gotten a boost with remote sensing tech for monitoring crops.

If Trump cuts NASA's budget by 50%, it will be a disaster for USA. This video shows only a few reasons why we should protect and help NASA.

Powering America’s future… well, not if the current administration has their way.
Please protest peacefully. Please protest often.

Perhaps Trump wouldn't be unfavorable to Earth being shot by a geocruiser?
