Which sentence provides evidence that NASA research has positive effects on Earth? Increase Funding for NASA The United States has been the leader in space exploration since 1969. July 21, 1969, was when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the surface of the Moon. Since then, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the space program largely funded by the U.S. government, has continued to play a huge role in space exploration and science research around the world. NASA's space shuttle program spent 30 years carrying astronauts into orbit to conduct cutting-edge research and build the largest structure in space, the International Space Station. NASA has made many contributions outside of space exploration. Through their research and development, scientists have invented practical items such as cordless tools, memory foam in mattresses, and scratch-resistant glasses. Nevertheless, NASA's budget support from the U.S. government has been declining over its 55-year history. Consequently, in 2011, the Space Shuttle program was grounded. The U.S. has also had to pull out of international space projects. As Americans continue to debate NASA funding, other countries and private companies are funneling more money into their space programs to become leaders in space exploration. A common misunderstanding among Americans is the amount of money NASA receives from the U.S. government. NASA's budget has accounted for 0.5 percent of the total U.S. federal budget. That amounts to roughly $10 of an annual personal income tax going toward the best space program in the world. NASA accounts for 40 times less than what the federal government spends on the Department of Defense. Unfortunately, programs such as Project Constellation, which promised to return American astronauts to the moon, and ExoMars, which was designed to look for evidence of life on Mars and eventually land humans on Mars, have been put on hold due to budget cuts. NASA holds one out of

July 1969. It's a little over eight years since the flights of Gagarin and Shepard, followed quickly by President Kennedy's challenge to put a man on the moon before the decade is out.

It is only seven months since NASA's made a bold decision to send Apollo 8 all the way to the moon on the first manned flight of the massive Saturn V rocket.

Now, on the morning of July 16, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins sit atop another Saturn V at Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. The three-stage 363-foot rocket will use its 7.5 million pounds of thrust to propel them into space and into history.

At 9:32 a.m. EDT, the engines fire and Apollo 11 clears the tower. About 12 minutes later, the crew is in Earth orbit. (› Play Audio)

After one and a half orbits, Apollo 11 gets a "go" for what mission controllers call "Translunar Injection" - in other words, it's time to head for the moon. Three days later the crew is in lunar orbit. A day after that, Armstrong and Aldrin climb into the lunar module Eagle and begin the descent, while Collins orbits in t
