The Southeast Missourian asked people what they thought about NASA's space program.

Nora-May Brown of Williamsville: "I think they should keep it going, maybe bring something back from outer space which would benefit society."

Michelle Fisher of Jonesboro: "They put some of their money into unnecessary things. But we should invest in technology efficiently. If we had the space station we could learn what it's like to live in space."

Adam Mueller of Cape Girardeau: "We need a space program. We shouldn't go overboard, but we can't neglect exploring. I'm for progress. I'm also for things being done on Earth."

J.B. Thompson of Dudley: "I think they're wasting my tax money. They're doing too many things over that should have been done right the first time. Get it right."

Glen Roberts of Cheyanne, Wy.: "I've always supported NASA and the space program. Look at all the gains that have been accomplished by NASA. I believe in the Hubble program and its impact on astronomy, the significance of watching these solar systems develop and expire."

Jina Pudivitr of Cape Girardeau: "I support NASA. It's a learning experience. It's a miracle to go into space and search for life. But their money should be more efficiently spent."
