2) United States leadership in astrobiology: The proposed 50-percent cut in NASA astrobiology funding puts a decade of science leadership in this field at risk. 3) Technology Return on Investment: CSC research may likely point to new avenues for pharmaceuticals by studying extremophiles. Applications of nanotechnology may lead to new companies being formed. Such research helps drive new products and services in the market place. 4) International cooperation: NASA’s proposed 50 percent cut comes at a time when our nation’s investment has induced governments in Australia, Spain, the United Kingdom, France and elsewhere to put significant resources into astrobiology. By NASA’s actions, a world science community may radically shrink as other governments also back away, or the United States will lose out to foreign competition. 5) Protecting our home planet: CSC researchers are engaged in a range of research that can pay huge benefits to the inhabitants of the Earth. Three examples are: •Gl
