What technology will change our lives the most in the near future? Many of our everyday technologies were derived from space sciences. Except for medicine, we believe space sciences offer the greatest potential to enhance human life. Commercial space companies such as Orbital Sciences Corporation are utilizing technology to provide reliable access to space and innovative space systems. The increased use of commercial space companies will provide cost-reduced access to space and space systems.This in turn will drive the improvement of space technologies which not only has benefits for the space industry but spins off to other industries as well. What is the most pressing world problem today? In general, American students continue to fall behind the rest of the world in the study of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).This trend, if left unchecked, could bring our nation’s global leadership into question. Therefore, enhancing STEM education is vital not only to the space industry but the nation’s future globally. favorite apps? NASA Updates on the agencies current work.
