Summary
The author concludes that people are wrong in claiming that governments should stop funding space exploration. As support, she says that many modern technologies are unexpected consequences of space exploration, and without government funding, society might’ve missed these benefits.
Notable Assumptions
The author implies that governments should continue funding space exploration, but her premises never establish when governments should or should not fund something. She assumes that, since funding has led to unexpected benefits, funding should be continued into the future.
Underlying her argument is the principle that if a government-funded program has brought unexpected benefits in the past, then governments should continue funding that program.
