American views on funding space race changed throughout the 1960s. Meet the PressAir Date: April 21, 1963
Interviewee: Astronaut John Glenn
Asked if cost was worth it
Answered exploration would have to be conducted before anyone knew for sureInformation from March 2010 segment of Meet the PressPreviewInterview with Dr. Brian Maicke

Drought in Southern Sahara
United Nations asks for help
Skylab acquires data of land layout
NASA engineers develop rapid-response computer program
MiniMed PumpDeveloped by Mini Med Technologies
External Pump
Replaces Insulin Injections for Diabetics
Based on miniature satellite component technology

Same foam NASA used on Space Shuttles external tank
Lighter weight
More affordableInformation from nasa.govSummaryDr. Maickes insight into why it is vital to continue NASA funding
Skylab helped nomadic people in the Southern Sahara
Satellite technology inspired better treatment for Diabetics
Lunar imaging was used to develop CAT Scans and MRI Technology
