Neil DeGrasse Tyson at the TAM conference also makes the point that NASA was formed based on political concern during the Cold War and people were all for the space travel so we can beat the Soviets. You have to think of it in a sense of supply and demand‚ people have to demand it for there to be a

NASA today is helping Europe space agency with 2 NASA radios being brought along to a EXOMars mission. It is a seven month mission‚ and it will start in Kazakhstan. NASA thinks this will help the relationship between the two agencies. This mission will send two people to Mars and a robot rover. The radios will be on the rover and in the ship and will be to communicate with NASA and European Space Agency. Science has influenced society by predicting when there will be rain or wind.
