Sub.--In response to grounding of NASA'a Lunar Mission.

Honourable Sir,

I am Ratnesh Dwivedi in India a regular reciever of NASA's update. But before I write anything on NASA or its missions, I would like to tell you little about my knowledge on Science research work in USA. The first American President who talked against racism was Abraham Lincoln. He was the one who seriously guided America on sciences throuh his mission to establish world's biggest and most respected research organisation--The National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Sciences is the most respected name and a person feels high ammount of pride even if he talks to a receptionist of NAS in washington. So for its worthy scientists has been honoured with dozens of noble prizes and other laurels. In due course of time The Academy enlarged its operation and established few other divisions like National Research Council , Institute of Medicine and Institute of Engineering under its umbrella.

World's biggest space science research organisation, National Aeronautics of Space Administration(NASA) also got its association with the Academy and NRC launched its one of the rarest kind of Research Associateship Programme (RAP) to select unparelled research scientists from across the globe to associate them with National Academy of Sciences and with NASA through this programme. Budding scientists from countries like India got a chance to associate themselves with NASA and other disciplines of sciences and engineering.It was a remarkable step of Academy to allow them to work on minutest area of life sciences, biology,biotech, engineering,technology and space sciences.

I by that time had collected some original research work on space sciences with the help of information I recieved through NASA newsletters . Compiled it and sent the 1500 pages of research work on Space Dynamics to Mary D Cox, an official with The National Academy of Sciences. I quickly got reply that my work has been forwarded to NASA coordinator.

Leaving the story behind I alwayes felt a significant ammount of pride to learn from NASA letters and to remain in touch with NASA officials. In a recent e-mail from Whitney Calvin of Media Relation Department of Jet Propulsion Laboratry(most respected division of NASA) ,I got to know about some of the most optimistic missions of NASA . And the information was about designing two mega spaceships--The Aries and The Orion, which may carry a Human Voyage to Moon and Mars by 2020.

It may be a giant leap of human kind to touch down on the surface of Moon once more and on Red Planet for the first time. Mars as I predict is our hope to establish Human colony in future.

Honourable Sir, I am writing this letter in great depression that now your government have decided to wind up these missions. Its great loss to sciences and to human kind.Its a rare chance to give an opportunity to humen to explore our solar system and to to our moon and to Red Planet. Sir, I , who have a great ammount of interest in Space Sciences and in NASA activity humbly request you to allow NASA with its Lunar and Red Planet missions and to allow its scientists to carry on with Aries and Orion spaceship programme.

Sciences,Human kind and our generations would be obiliged to Obama administrations for ages if you live up the dreams of thousands of people like me and people in NASA by not stopping these rarest of its kind missions.

Thanking You.................................................................
