Why Explore?

More than 46 years since humans first ventured into space, people around the world continue to be directly impacted by the thousands of benefits stemming from exploration.

Space exploration encourages discoveries that yield essential knowledge about our ourselves and our home planet. This knowledge enables innovations that drastically improve education, health and medicine, business and the economy, agriculture environment, and overall quality of life. The last half-century of space exploration has spurred more than 1,500 documented advancements in all of these fields.

A robust NASA budget, required to continue this trend of progress, is a small investment compared to the returns in goods, services, and benefits that the space program provides every day.

Space in Your World

Technology stemming from space exploration affects the everyday lives of people around the world. From the single seat Mercury capsules of the early 1960’s to the designs for Constellation, the next-generation launch and crew vehicles, progress in space yields advancements on Earth.
