36. 4. Discussion Potential research question: -How much employment and economic stimulus would an investment into space science generate? -How much environmental impact would an investment into space science cause? -How would space science investment compare with other investments, eg into defense, education, or resource extraction? Question for discussion: -Would it be a worthwhile exercise to create a Triple Bottom Line profile for space science, just as in the Fed Gov’t’s Balancing Act report?
