"content": "\u003cp>For decades, NASA – a U.S. government agency funded by American taxpayers — was responsible for all things space. Their mission? To discover and expand knowledge for the benefit of humanity. And they delivered. We now know more about space and have new technology that society uses every day. But the cost of running a space program is expensive and launching astronauts into space was retired in 2011. Insert billionaires into the space conversation. Billionaires now have the technology and resources to potentially start space tourism and jumpstart a space economy. But is this a good thing? Myles explores the question: What benefit does the new age of space travel by billionaires have for us?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TEACHERS: Get your students in the discussion on KQED Learn, a safe place for middle and high school students to investigate controversial topics and share their voices. \u003ca href=\"https://learn.kqed.org/discussions/109?utm_source=kqed-edu&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=atn\">Click to see this video and lesson plan on KQED Learn\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was the space race like BEFORE the billionaires?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, NASA — a U.S. government agency funded by American taxpayers — was responsible for all things space. Their mission? To discover and expand knowledge for the benefit of humanity. And they delivered. We got the International Space Station, the Hubble Telescope, and a rover on. But running a space program is expensive, and in 2011 the Space Shuttle program that had been launching astronauts into space for 30 years was retired because it was too expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why do billionaires want to jump into the space race?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reason 1 is cost. Private companies can launch a rocket into space more cheaply than NASA can, all because of one of the defining principles of capitalism — competition. Companies compete. Prices drop. More companies get into the game. They get more efficient at offering a better product. Prices drop again. Reason 2 is that these billionaires ALSO want to jumpstart space tourism. That’s the first step toward creating a larger space economy. Tourists mean you need new workers. Which means new businesses. Which means you need places for these people to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what’s the problem with billionaires in space?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When FOR-PROFIT companies are in charge of space exploration, profit can become the primary motivation.

It’s a new, confusing thing for a lot of politicians. But throughout American history, if politicians wanted to be successful, they had to master whatever communication tool was popular. Ben Franklin passed out pamphlets. Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his fireside chats over the radio. John F. Kennedy won over America with TV. And now, it’s all about social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does social media help politicians with their campaigns?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within the first month of using a Twitter or Facebook account, politicians saw a small but significant increase in donations. Remember — political campaigns run on donations, and most Americans donate in small amounts. We’re talking like 25 or 50 bucks. So a bump from social media can be huge. Social media also gives lesser-known candidates a low-cost option to communicate and make themselves known. Think about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (aka “AOC”), a representative from New York who came out of nowhere to win in 2018 and become the youngest member of Congress. It would have been REALLY hard for AOC to make the kind of impact she did even a decade ago when she would have had a hard time paying for TV and newspaper ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the downsides to politicians using social media? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media has something really unique going for it.

And now, it’s all about social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does social media help politicians with their campaigns?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within the first month of using a Twitter or Facebook account, politicians saw a small but significant increase in donations. Remember — political campaigns run on donations, and most Americans donate in small amounts. We’re talking like 25 or 50 bucks. So a bump from social media can be huge. Social media also gives lesser-known candidates a low-cost option to communicate and make themselves known. Think about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (aka “AOC”), a representative from New York who came out of nowhere to win in 2018 and become the youngest member of Congress. It would have been REALLY hard for AOC to make the kind of impact she did even a decade ago when she would have had a hard time paying for TV and newspaper ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The word felony is in there because it usually applies to the felony class of crimes, which are more serious crimes that put people in prison for at least a year. So, we’re talking violent crimes like rape and murder. But some states also include some nonviolent crimes like bribery or lying under oath or trafficking drugs. Most states automatically restore the right to vote after people finish serving their sentences.

The word felony is in there because it usually applies to the felony class of crimes, which are more serious crimes that put people in prison for at least a year. So, we’re talking violent crimes like rape and murder. But some states also include some nonviolent crimes like bribery or lying under oath or trafficking drugs. Most states automatically restore the right to vote after people finish serving their sentences. But in some states, for certain crimes, you can permanently lose your right to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the argument FOR felony disenfranchisement?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The argument you’ll probably hear boils down to something like, “If you can’t follow the laws in your own life, why should you be trusted to help make laws for everyone else, which is what you do when you vote?” Remember, people convicted of felonies often lose other rights, like serving on a jury, owning a gun, getting welfare payments, and receiving financial aid for college.

But we do know that as protests get more extreme, they usually get less support from the public. At the end of the day, protests are a battle to win over public opinion, and to do that, they have to navigate a weird dilemma. More extreme actions get more media attention that can spread awareness to more people, but at the same time, if it’s perceived as TOO extreme, some people might be reluctant to support the protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SOURCES \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://americanarchive.org/exhibits/first-amendment\">Speaking and Protesting in America\u003c/a> (American Archive of Public Broadcasting)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/us/politics/us-protests-history-george-floyd.html\">Why Protest Movements Are ‘Civil’ Only in Retrospect\u003c/a> (NY Times)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-protests-can-do/\">What Protests Can (And Can’t) Do\u003c/a> (Vox) Your Rights\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/en/know-your-rights/protesters#:~:text=Do%20I%20have%20a%20right,to%20buildings%20are%20not%20blocked\">When Protesting\u003c/a> (ACLU)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://news.gallup.com/vault/246167/protests-seen-harming-civil-rights-movement-60s.aspx\">Protests Seen as Harming Civil Rights Movement in the ’60s\u003c/a> (Gallup)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2911177\">Extreme Protest Tactics Reduce Popular Support for Social Movements\u003c/a> (SSRN)\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
