Scientific Literacy is very important for society. Without a general knowledge of Science simple task become impossible and new discoveries become non occurring. Science is very important in the life we live in today. A life without science is a life without technology, medicines, motor vehicles. If it wasn't for the interest in Science throughout time blogs such as these would be non existent. Science Literacy is important so that you can understand issues that are seen daily in the news. It also helps you to have a better understanding of the world around you. Science Literacy is not knowing every single formula or every bit of history about the subject but it is having a basic understanding of general Scientific terms and principles.

NASA is known for putting the first man on the moon. NASA plans on now sending astronauts past the moon and deeper in to space. The bill that decided this was passed through Congress to make the United States space program more stable. They authorized NASA to have 58 billion dollars over the next three years to expand. The start of this new program will not begin until the fiscal year of 2011.
