Analyzing My Audience

1) The beliefs and assumptions of the audience can vary around one certain idea and that is moving forward. They are going to assume that all of these NASA projects are as important as said to be, and that they are crucial to the future and moving forward in space science. 

2) The language appropriate for this audience would include basic scientific language, consisting of research and also astronomical basics. Such as knowing the basics of our solar system, but also knowing and understanding the significance of money towards NASA. The language isn't very complex but needs to simple and informative.

3) the economic and sociopolitical backgrounds of this audience can range. It can be independent workers in field of astronomy and science, but it can also be a full time student at a university that is making no income.

4) The position that will most likely be decided on this issue is that we should be more aware of our scientific projects and give them more funding. 

5) The audience will want to know what projects are being effected, who is being effected, how long will this issue drag on for, and where is the money coming from.

6) They can best be persuaded by showing the issues caused by the budget cuts, along with perspectives of NASA employees and professionals of the subject.
