NASA Funding Debate

Which revision maintains a formal style and tone?

Some believe that the funding given to NASA should be spent on other areas of research. Ironically, the online posts and articles that you write in condemnation of NASA were probably written on your home computer, a technology that would not be possible without research conducted during the height of the space program.

Some believe that the funding given to NASA should be spent on other areas of research. However, the scientific discoveries made during the height of the space program have led to technological leaps in many fields, including microprocessing. The computers and smartphones used today are a result of such discoveries. (correct)

Some believe that the funding given to NASA should be allocated to other areas of research. But given that computers and smartphones are technologies made possible by the space program, how can one complain that funding to NASA is a waste? One of the strengths of our nation is our huge computer technology industry!

Some believe that the funding given to NASA should be spent on other areas of research. These troublemakers even have the nerve to write their objections to NASA's funding on computers, whose technology comes from the success of the space program. Without the space program, they would have no way to post their silly complaints.
