I think it is important for us on a day such as today to recognize what all of those scientific experiences did and what we have gained from the space program. It was an investment. It is the newly created products and technologies and the new jobs that have come about as a result of those technologies that is the return on our investment. There have been 30,000 spinoffs from our space research. Let me tell you a few.
Satellites are part of our daily lives.
We now get instant access on the news anywhere in the world because of satellites. We can see press conferences anywhere in the world live because of satellites. We see satellites as part of our defense. A defense system for an incoming missile is going to result because we have satellite technology. Who can even ask the question about what computers have done.
