NASA: Your Tax Money At Work

It's amazing: With all the news coverage of fallout from Katrina and Rita, nary a word about the role NASA has played. From providing round the clock, up-to-the-minute satellite imaging of the storms, with imaging potential to watch the impact on a single home or structure; tracking the storm surge and flooding through advanced weather instrumentation, and even providing for families of workers at Michoud and Johnson Space Center who may have been adversely affected.
NASA is more than rockets. It's making a difference every day. Cool.
