In my own eyes I picture NASA as the eyes of the Earth for many reasons.
1}It warns us if anything might happen such as Asteroid Impacts , Blackholes, Unknown object that can destroy Earth or cause harm to it. There are also many other things that can also cause damage but we know little about them , thats the reason why NASA is here!
2}It also explores the Solar System looking for life or a place that Humans can live on and be safe. NASA is also known for landing on Mars and on our very own Moon. Man has not yet steped on Mars because they dont know what might happen to them.
3}NASA is also known for taking care of Satelites which give service to phones, radios , and many other things that benefit for Earth.

Major Extinctions
In the past 600 million years there have been five major mass extinctions that on average extinguished half of all species. The largest mass extinction to have affected life on Earth was in the Permian-Triassic, which ended the Permian period 250 million years ago and killed off 90% of all species.[1] The last such mass extinction led to the demise of the dinosaurs and has been found to have coincided with a large asteroid impact; this is the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event. There is no solid evidence of impacts leading to the four other major mass extinctions, though a recent report from Ohio State scientists stated that they have located a 483-km diameter impact crater beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet which may date back about 250 million years, based on gravity measurements, which might associate it with the Permian-Triassic extinction event.

Heart Disease
NASA space technology is helping doctors diagnose and monitor treatments for hardening of the arteries in its early stages, before it causes heart attacks and strokes. Hospitals and doctors around the country are using ArterioVision software initially developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., along with a standardized, painless, non-invasive ultrasound examination of the carotid artery, which carries blood from the heart to the brain.
Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a telescope in orbit around the Earth, named after astronomer Edwin Hubble. Its position outside the Earth's atmosphere provides significant advantages over ground-based telescopes — images are not blurred by the atmosphere, there is no background from light scattered by the air, and the Hubble can observe ultra-violet light that is normally absorbed by the ozone layer in observations made from Earth. Since its launch in 1990, it has become one of the most important instruments in the history of astronomy. With it, astronomers have made many observations leading to breakthroughs in astrophysics. Hubble's Ultra Deep Field has the most detailed visible light image of the most distant objects ever taken.

i disagree. NASA should get funding but not so much money.Why give a billion dollars 2 one place when u can give like 3 thousand 2 many other important charities?
Well Daniela for your info. i found this on the internet on the NASA website i proved you wrong and i hope others dont agree with you cause they do not hog up all the money on one thing.
Employees of the Marshall Center have pledged $595,150 — a new pledging record — to the Combined Federal Campaign, exceeding this year's goal by more than $95,000. CFC is a collective effort by federal agencies to raise money for charities in Huntsville, its surrounding areas and across the country.

Haha...Are you and Niles agree with donatinq billions of dollors ordisagree???
Ohh iight
Wow, well done luis... and you guys are right, nasa should be getting money, they're making the world a better place, besides, its not like the money thats being given to nasa is a waste of time, besides, money gets printed everyday! I think we should continue to give to Nasa! great job luis! *claps hands* too bad your partner sucks...
