According to the recent 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress study, there has been little or no improvement in U.S. students’ STEM understanding compared to other countries over the last three years.  Teachers, especially, in the elementary years have been reducing the number of hours that science has been taught in order to focus on language arts.  Our educational system is in need of improving comprehension and involvement in literacy and in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).  These two topics are intertwined - one does not need to be sacrificed for the other.  Without literacy students will not have the basis to engage successfully in STEM.  Without STEM, research, space exploration and the technological advancement of our society will weaken even more than it currently has.   The reality is that the average U.S. citizen saw Space Shuttle missions as ‘our space program’ even though the International Space S...
