“The Santa Barbara journal.” Exciting news today from Vandenberg Space Fore Base as it has ended its Delta IV Heavy rocket program to make way for the new Atlas V program. Riddled with difficulties, Delta IV Heavy saw only moderator success throughout its 21-year history. Developed on the heels of the last tragic Space Shuttle flight expectations for Delta IV Heavy far exceeded its reality. Future hopes now lie with the Atlas V program developed by the Lockheed Martin. A social media post: @ggh723 The space program is an outdated use of taxpayer funds. We have enough problems on earth to worry about what’s happening in the universe. Which of the following is evidence that supports the claim in the social media post?
A. The federal government’s spending on the space program helps to encourage economic growth
B. $1.5 billion was budgeted last year for social programs while $10 million went to the space program
C. The federal governments spending on the space program outpaces its contribution to education in the United states
D. the 41 million people who have received federal assistance only 10% knew about the 1,600 technologies developed through the space program
This statement supports the social media post which states that: @ggh723 The space program is an outdated use of taxpayer funds. We have enough problems on earth to worry about what’s happening in the universe.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.
