Whitney Dail shares the same DNA as stardust. She spends most of her time daydreaming about the universe and anything sixties Space Age, riding her bike (and scooter) often, researching and staying informed about current issues in contemporary art, and watching pro-cycling road races. Whitney has a BFA in Sequential Art (a fancy word for comics) and is currently seeking her Masters in Arts Administration at SCAD.

I have a white paper to write for my final paper in Business and Professional Writing. So while researching public opinion of NASA’s space program, I read on Gallup that as of July 2009, 6 in 10 Americans support space exploration. For those of you that would rather watch tv than read the report, you can watch a video explanation here. This is exciting news, but the recent committee hearings leave our future in space to be determined. I am starry-eyed, as always, but I still hold my breath. Americans remain broadly supportive of space exploration and government funding of it. In fact, Americans are somewhat more likely to believe the benefits of the space program justify its costs at the 40th anniversary of the moon landing than they were at the 10th, 25th, and 30th anniversaries.Although support for keeping NASA funding at its present level or increasing it is lower now than it has been in the past, the fact that 6 in 10 Americans hold this view in the midst of a recession suggests the public is firmly committed to the space program.
