NASA Every Week
NASA could open up a new wave of innovation in space exploration and terrestrial technology by lessening consequences of launch failure and making frequent launches available to engineers. If there were weekly rocket launches, there would be an astronaumical increase in opportunities for new communication, remote sensing, orbital debris mitigation, robotic exploration, photographic, and human spaceflight technology ideas to be tested. Our understanding of chemical rocketry and other, more advanced forms of aeronautic propulsion would inevitably advance and the United States government would do something inspiring for is citizens and for all the future.
