scheduling backlog pressures. Competition from the European Space Agency put NASA under pressure to come up with a space mission‚ which would hopefully shed light on the ability of NASA to plan commercialized space departures. NASA also had to prove that its program should continue to be funded; another unforeseen pressure pushing NASA to schedule its record number of Space exploration trips that year than in any other year.

End of The Space Shuttle Program; Beginning of The Future We have made much progress on our knowledge about what is beyond our atmosphere. We have put a man on the moon and have educated our society about our universe. We have built an international space station that allows human beings to live outside our atmosphere for years‚ researching and studying so that we may understand Earth in a much better way. We have learned so much about our world‚ and a lot of it is thanks to the Space Shuttle Program

This would not be a problem if students were
