1. Was sending a human to the Moon a good thing?

Yes.

2. Should NASA build a space station as part of an international project with other countries?

It already has (ISS).

3. Do you think NASA should send astronauts to Mars?

No, not yet (because I think that the money could be better spent for other space projects).

4. Was sending a chimpanzee to space a good idea?

At that time, when it was not yet possible for us to send human astronauts, it was a good idea.

5. Is ending the Space Shuttle program a good idea?

Yes, it is time to "move on" to other and more ambitious projects.

Regards,

These questions are so simplistic as to be meaningless. There is no right or wrong answer to them — it depends on what you mean by “good thing.”

And the second question is dumb — NASA has already done that.

The questions were written by my 10 year old who is just learning about NASA. She could kick most people's butts on knowledge of the Constitution, however.

1. Was sending a human to the Moon a good thing?

Yes, it was a worthy goal for the United States to shoot for - and resulted in many innovations.

2. Should NASA build a space station as part of an international project with other countries?


No. Given that the United States is footing almost the entire cost any way, we should do it ourselves.

3. Do you think NASA should send astronauts to Mars?


Yes, this is also an exciting and worthwhile goal for the U.S. to undertake.

4. Was sending a chimpanzee to space a good idea?


Yes, at the time this was done the U.S. was fully engaged in the Cold War and needed to proceed with it's own manned space flight program. Sending Ham on a sub orbital flight prior to Alan Shepard's sub orbital flight and then Enos into orbit prior to John Glenn's orbital flight were necessary steps in that program.

5. Is ending the Space Shuttle program a good idea?


Yes and no. Yes because the Shuttle fleet is past due to be retired. No because it was short sighted not to have a replacement in place prior to shutting doen Shuttle flights.

1. Was sending a human to the Moon a good thing?

Yes. It spurred and sped up development in many ways across many disciplines.

2. Should NASA build a space station as part of an international project with other countries?

No. It just adds complications and cost to the projects.

3. Do you think NASA should send astronauts to Mars?

Yes.

4. Was sending a chimpanzee to space a good idea?

Yes. Actually, the first were squirrel monkeys. One of them, Baker, lived for about 25 years after his flight.

5. Is ending the Space Shuttle program a good idea?

No. There is no replacement for it at this time.
