Money for Food, Not Mars by Lisa Packara
Did you know that the Mars rover Curiosity cost $2.6 billion?
Previous rovers Spirit and Opportunity together cost $800 million.
These enormous numbers seem absurd when we consider that our
country is in debt and countless people are hungry and homeless.
Space program funds should be cut dramatically so that the
money can be used to solve our country's economic and social
problems. Sending robots to other planets may be inspiring for
children, but don't we have a duty to feed and clothe these children?
People need to speak out on this urgent issue so that we can make
cuts that matter and put money where it's needed most.
