    Bobby Braun argues that NASA is the leader in aerospace technology, but needs modest and consistent government investments to retain this position and develop new technologies. He explains that NASA faces challenges like underfunding of research that limit its abilities. Investing in NASA would create jobs, benefit the economy, and help NASA overcome obstacles to exploring space. Braun uses facts about NASA's budget and accomplishments to persuasively argue that support from the government is important for NASA's continued success.

    Bobby Braun article on “Space Technology” is an essay aimed at persuading his reader to

    believe that NASA is the leader in aerospace technology and their ability to retain that position
    depends on their advanced technological developments and modest, consistent government
    investments in space technology.

    Bobby begins by letting the reader know that aerospace is a positive effect on the
    nation’s economy. He explains to the reader the necessary procedures NASA needs to take in
    order to remain “the leader in aerospace technology.” He goes on to explain the reason for
    NASA’s groundbreaking success. He does this to make his reader not just know more about
    NASA but also know what makes NASA one of the best in its field; this will make it easier for the
    reader to support Bobby’s claim.

    He explains to his reader the difficulties NASA is currently facing: from “chronic
    underinvestment in basic and applied research” to insufficient advanced space technology.
    Bobby explains this to his readers so they know why government’s investment in NASA is
    important. He proceeds to explain the future obstacles that NASA is most likely going to
    encounter while “beginning an exciting new chapter in human space exploration.” Some of the
    obstacles are “maturation of multiple American vehicles for delivering astronauts and cargo to
    low-Earth orbit and developments of a crew vehicle.”

    Furthermore, Bobby goes ahead to explain the benefits that NASA will enjoy from
    government’s investments. We can’t forget that not only NASA will benefit from this but
    America’s economy will also benefit from this through the creation of high-tech jobs. Bobby
    also explains the effect of these investments to the future of America.

    Finally, we can see that Bobby uses a style of persuasion where he states the problem,
    the solution and how the solution will help curb the problem. He also uses evidence when
    explaining NASA’s budget and historical evidence when he describes NASA’s accomplishment
    nearly fifty years ago. This persuasion technique helps the reader agree with the claim quite
    easily because of the abundance of facts granted the reader.
