Leonard David's INSIDE OUTER SPACE

Two new Gallup polls focus on the U.S. space program.

Five decades after Apollo 11’s Moon landing, support for the space program is high. A second poll  notes that, for the first time, a majority in U.S. backs a human mission to Mars.

50 years after Moon landing, record-high 64% say space costs are justifiable.

About three in four say NASA funding should be maintained or increased.

NASA receives its highest ratings in 20 years.
