IntroductionI. Beware: Before smartphones, before laptops, before the Internet, engineering, science and individual courage came together to make history, to put a man on the surface of the moon; An event that inspired all humanity and today this inspiration is waning.II. Public Related: Of all the specializations that people look forward to in this class, there isn't a single one that hasn't benefited from the space program. Therefore it is important to analyze the most obvious threat that this program messiah is facing.III. Thesis Statement: The space program has suffered budget cuts since 1993, so much so that with the last sequestration approved in 2011, budget cuts are now threatening the very existence of NASA and the future of space exploration.IV. Credibility Statement: As someone who is involved in aerospace engineering and has closely followed the budget cuts imposed on NASA and its subsidiaries, I believe I am credible enough to speak on this topic.V. Preview: Today I will discuss with you why the space program is essential, what the budget cut means for NASA, and what can be done to prevent these budget cuts.VI. Background information: NASA survives on a portion of the federal budget appropriated by Congress. According to the fiscal year budget prepared by the US Department of Management and Budget, this portion represented a good 1.01% of the entire sum, until the government cut funding to less than 0.4% in 2011, causing a huge outcry in the scientific community. Body(Transition: Now that we know what the budget cut is, let's take a closer look at why the space program is important to us in the first place.)I. As highlighted… at the heart of the document… of the United States Constitution, this platform has often been used to motivate change.b. The NASA petition already has over 10,000,000 supporters and recently forced the government to reallocate some funding to NASA.2. While showing support on such platforms is very helpful, it is important to be passionate about the cause itself. Only when you realize the importance of the space program will you be able to truly evaluate this proposal.(In conclusion...)ConclusionI. Summary: In conclusion, most of the nation's dream agencies are currently underfunded to do what they need to do, to make dreams come true. Now you know why the space program is essential, what the budget cut means for NASA, and what can be done to prevent these budget cuts.II. Clincher: Before we conclude, I would like to ask you: “how much would you pay for the universe? ”
