Why was the NASA shuttle program shut down?
NASA is shutting down the space program because the ISS (international space station) will no further need any assistance. NASA also has completed it missions with the space shuttle program just like it is done with Apollo. But this does 100% mean that NASA is not shutting down. Their are many other missions that future astronaut's will discover. Such as the Constellation Program, and mission to Mars.
Why are they shutting down the space shuttle program?
Because there is not enough funds to keep the expensive space program going and Obama thinks if we cut it out of the budget it will help the economy
What did the moon landing contribute to society?
The space program has given us many things. One of the major inventions is the computer. Without the space program I don't think our computers would be sitting on our desks or in our laps. Corning Ware is another product of the space program, space blankets is also one. Many times things are invented for military use and then it filters down to the general population. A good example is GPS. It is in our cars, but it was made for the military first. The fact we have satellite TV is another space program by product. So, look around you and think of the many things you have that came out of the science for the space program.
In Space does everyone weigh the same?
Weight is caused by being pulled down by a planet, therefore it changes from planet to planet. When in space we orbit a planet and the acceleration of the orbit counter-acts the weight - resulting in weightlessness.
Where in space did the voyager space mission go?
If this question refers to the Voyager program, the answer is, we don't know yet. Both the program, and the two deep space probes Voyager 1 and 2, are still on-going. Both probes have enough electrical energy that they are estimated to be able to continue operating to about 2020. At this point, the program will most likely close down, but the probes will still continue travel on a ballistic trajectory, and where they will end up is anyones guess.

What is the main function of a space station?
Simple but true, to learn more about space in general and by few means and to learn to make technology to get to Pluto and beyond. In simple form: To live in space to collect information about space to see how far we can go without being killed. But Obama has recently shut down the NASA program and they aren't sending people into space but I imagine our next president's first move will be to restart the program.
