Save Space is a movement started by people on the Space Coast to raise the awareness of the nation, the President, and other elected officials: Space needs to be a priority for America.

As the clock ticks toward the end of the Space Shuttle program, as the President and his advisors review the Augustine Commission recommendations, as Florida’s economic engine falters. it is imperative that we make our voices heard by writing letters to the President: Save Our Space Program!

America’s leadership in space exploration is vital. As other countries make investments in space, inspire more youth to study engineering and science, and gain economic and security advantages, the United States falters. Less than one percent of the federal budget is devoted to NASA, an agency focused on exploration, science, and new technologies.

Satellite communications, microwaves, cellular phones, miniaturized computers, pacemakers, kidney dialysis, scratch-resistant lenses, medical and sports technology, adjustable smoke detectors, cordless tools, and water filters are just a few examples of the advances that have occurred through NASA space research. Not to mention the entrepreneurs, jobs, and commercial aspects of many space research spin-offs.

Don’t let America’s leadership in space be lost because you didn’t speak up. Let President Barack Obama know that Floridians, in fact, all Americans, care about our security, our economic competitiveness, and our space program.

Goal: 500,000 letters by October 31. Join the cause today.
