For this assignment, consider the fact that our country (US) spends millions of dollars each year to explore space and to learn about the structure and composition of the universe. Why do you think learning about space is a priority for our country and why are we willing to spend so much money on it? Create a discussion post about your thoughts on space exploration, including why or why not you think space exploration should be a national priority and what you think scientists hope to learn by continuing to explore the makeup of the universe.
