NASA Questionnaire (Homework Help)

November 28, 2010 | Pan_Yan's Daughter

[Pan_Yan]

My daughter is taking a survey for her fourth grade science class. She needs 50 people to answer the following YES/NO questions:

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

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

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

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

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

[2dollarbill]

1: Yes. Sending humans to the moon is a good thing. Letting them come back? I don’t know about that...
2: Yes. Build the Space Station.
3: Yes. But when we send the astronauts to mars we should make sure each astronaut is accompanied by their local politicians.
4: No. We should not send monkeys into outerspace. We should keep sending them to Washington D.C. like we always do every couple of years.
5: Ending the space shuttle program is not a good idea. Nancy Pelosi will need it in the future to get back and forth between Washington D.C. and California whine country.

Thank you!

[MamaB]

All yes except for the last one.

[LiberConservative]

Yes to all. Ending the shuttle with the current design is a good idea, but we should have been bringing in a new design years ago.

[LiberConservative]

Yes to all. Ending the shuttle with the current design is a good idea, but we should have been bringing in a new design years ago.

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

One. Everything that actually does occur is ALWAYS a good thing. That's because G-d made the world that way.

Two. Was phrasing this question in the passive voice, using an imperfect continuing action form of the past tense with no subject a good thing? See next.

Three. Why is the person asking you this question, and why in this way?

Four. Is it good that a teacher is asking you to second guess what already happened and further to question whether is was good to happen?

Five. Stick with this. Don't let your brain freeze yet!

Six. Was sending you to school this day when you got this assignment a good thing?

Seven. Why?

Eight. Was it good for your teacher to ask you this question? Why?

Nine. Ask your teacher what she means by "good". What do you think she will answer? Why?

Ten. Who says what is good? Why do they have the right to say what is good?

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

One. Everything that actually does occur is ALWAYS a good thing. That's how G-d made the world. Viewing the past that way is a very helpful and sane way of viewing it.

Two. The Space Station is already built and operational. It is still being added to. Construction began in 1998 and it is expected to remain operational through 2020.

Three. Remind your teacher of this fact, and ask if she could restate the question.

Four. What does the space station do, besides being "international", causing many people to bring home less money to pay their own way in the world because the police will come and arrest them unless they pay the taxes needed to pay for this huge expense?

Five. Can the people who pay for this -- your mom and dad and all other taxpayers -- get a chance to stay at the Space Station, or is it only for the politically chosen elite?

Six. Would you like to be forced to pay so that other people get to fly in space?

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

No. I think that a PRIVATE company would someday be able to offer space flights to Mars and the Moon. I do not think it is proper to forcibly take the money of other people to pay for such endeavors.

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

Yes. It was great and necessary idea, for by doing so we learned how to protect the lives of humans who later went into space. And as a nation, for reasons of national defense, we have to be able to send men into space.

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

Yes. In addition to being funded by forcible taking of the honest earnings of fellow citizens, the Shuttle is unsafe and deadly to the point that managers of this program should be arrested and tried for manslaughter and attempted manslaughter.

I think NASA is a huge waste of money. But what do I know? I’m a jerk with a phone.

[TrueKnightGalahad]

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? Huh? Already there.

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

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

5. Is ending the Space Shuttle program a good idea? YES, if replaced immediately with another, more capable craft; otherwise, NO.

The teacher didn’t write the questions, the ten year old did. We’ll just put down a “yes” for the first two questions. Thanks!

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

5. Is ending the Space Shuttle program a good idea? No

Good luck on the project!

[MAexile]

1. Was sending a human to the Moon a good thing? Yes. The dividends from the technology developed alone make it “worth it”.

2. Should NASA build a space station as part of an international project with other countries? Yes, well we already have.

3. Do you think NASA should send astronauts to Mars? Yes, see answer to 1

4. Was sending a chimpanzee to space a good idea? Yes. Duh, better a chimp rather than a human, esp. if something goes wrong.

5. Is ending the Space Shuttle program a good idea? No. We have no access to space without the shuttle. If Constellation was on track, that would be a different story.

[Pan_Yan]

Thank you all!

1. Was sending a human to the Moon a good thing?
YES, it was an inspIring feat that led to many practical applications to this day.

2. Should NASA build a space station as part of an international project with other countries?
NO, one clunker in LEO is enough.

3. Do you think NASA should send astronauts to Mars?
NO, not NASA as presently constituted.

4. Was sending a chimpanzee to space a good idea?
YES, it was probably more worthwhile than "Muslim outreach."

5. Is ending the Space Shuttle program a good idea?
YES, but it was done so half-assed, it needs to continue on a limited basis for a few more years.
