The subject I didn't know much about- Trailbazing

America was very eager to learn more about space and wanted to travel there. It always seems like America as a country is very eager to learn about unknown things and expand its knowledge. However, America was not the only one eager to go to space. The Soviet Union sent out the first satellite into space, Sputnik. This started the competition to get to space first, known as the Space Race. During this time, America seemed to be addicted to exploration. The whole nation had a sense of wonder and pride because we were the first country to send a man on the moon. The pursuit of knowledge was shown through a short story called Universe. It was a good example of how the people of America acted and of the United States and the different mindset of America at certain time periods. It also is a good example of America's exploration because America wants to explore to find beneficial things even though there is no evidence of finding it.
For now, Obama wants to put a halt to space exploration projects and focus on other things. Money will be saved for NASA so when it is put back into play, it will have many funds to make new things. I think this is a good idea because we need to focus on necessary things that will guarantee benefits fort our country. At the same time, NASA will have a chance to come up with new ideas for space exploration. America takes a lot of risks, and trying new types of space exploration is a risk. But America is a country obsessed with progress and will always take those risks to gain knowledge.
