8 Read the passage and answer the questions
For those who believe the costs of space exploration are greater than the benefits, George Delucas, an
astronaut who flew on the 1992 Columbia mission, says, "There will always be people who would like to put an end to space travel, but I don't think that is what our population wants or needs Our country has always been
excited about exploration and the pursuit of knowledge" This quote generalizes the attitude many Americans
have towards the space program When the Apollo 11 crew successfully landed on the moon, the crew and
millions of Americans were filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment What citizens do not realize is how
much knowledge and new technology the United States gained through Apollo 11 and the other space missions
Some of these citizens do not believe a vital need for the space program exists To them, the space program is just
a waste of money and human lives The recent Columbia disaster that resulted in the loss of seven American lives only supports their argument However, it is impossible to measure the loss of life and money over the advances
in knowledge, technology, and medicine

2 What was the attitude that Americans have towards the successful moon landing of the Apollo 11?
3 What don't most citizens realize after the success of the Apollo 11?
