Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Fewer jobs will be available due to the program ending, and fewer people will come to see shuttle launches and such.

Answer: D

Explanation: Unemployment will rise, as job opportunities decline. Tourism and more locals rise the profits of locals, and with the ending of the program, these key factors will be absent.

Hope it helps!
