Description: Produced by the Space Division of North American Rockwell, this industrial film stresses the importance of space exploration to the future of mankind. Stating that just two cents of every tax dollar funded the entire space program, the film highlights the return of that investment, from the historic lunar landing to the possibilities of the Space Shuttle program. Naturally, this phrasing is somewhat misleading. It is not that the taxpayer only contributes two cents, but that two percent of his or her entire tax payment goes toward funding the space program.
