Hanbury,Robin,and Piers Bizony. “For and Against: Space Exploration.” Engineering and Technology Magazine.The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2014. Web. 29 June 2014. Author, journalist, and filmmaker, Piers Bizony in his side of the article “For and Against:Space Exploration” argues that the exploration of space is not a waste of funds,and should continue to fund it. He supports this claim by explaining the benefit of continuing to fund them and their mission. Mr.Bizony next proceeds to show they ensure not only the improvement but also the development of technology, among companies

Hedman in his article “The Politics and Ethics of Spending Money on Space Exploration.” discusses the appropriate amount of money that should be spent on space travel. He explains that bad decisions, low funding, and unpredicted problems, is the reason our technology hasn 't reached the level that the past expected. Many aren 't satisfied with the space exploration progress.He proceeds next to show what the space program actually does for us,like they provide us with the knowledge of stars,the galaxy and our place in it. Lastly,he wants to give NASA a boost of money to get through transition from flying the shuttle to the CEV(Crew Exploration Vehicle),if we don 't we would be giving the scientists a hard time on judging how much should be spent based on how much was distributed. “ In this article the author has a persuasive tone, for sympathetic …show more content…
The team believes that its not too long a wait and it 's bound to happen sooner or later. The Mars-One team develops a pressing tone for the ones who one day look forward to living on mars. This article is from a fact filled website that shows it is and can be possible for this lifestyle to happen, that which gives others hope and that will give them support.

NASA Space Missions” argues that cutting the funds of NASA means that they 'd have to make adjustments
Dukes 4 or completely cancel some of their missions.She supports her claim by explaining how not only is the cut of money not only devastating for the scientists but for our economy.Next she continues to explain how the cut will ruin careers of some scientists. And Finally she explains how it’ll lower the number of the
Katherine Johnson was a strong African-American woman who isn’t often talked about. Only within the last two years at the age of 98, does she start getting recognition. A movie was released about her and the women working in the NACA´s branch in 2016. She is the woman who discovered the math that hadn’t yet been created, for launch and landing in the space race. Katherine made these amazing discoveries whilst dealing with constant segregation and oppression for being an African-American Woman.
In the article, “Should We Cut NASA Funding?” written by Keith Yost, he answers the questions that have been the topic of debate for over 20 years. He states that it is predicted that in the Florida conference, President Obama will talk about the reductions that will be made to NASA’s budget. In his article, Yost takes a clear position on the
B. Week 3: Standard 1.1b: How advances in technology lead to an increase in exploration. This topic will be linked with the Social Studies theme of science, technology, and society. Given a blank piece of paper the student will be able to list three changes that improved the ships’ functions and abilities for the longer voyages with 100% accuracy. This assessment is at the end of the outline. The next portion of the packet we will work on is Sir Francis Drake.
Thus far NASA had primarily focused on taking baby steps to achieve what they had. While these achievement seem like incredible strides in our eyes, the amount of what remains in the universe to discover is limitless. Although in an ideal world we would have the resources necessary to continue growing at the same rate as during the Space Race, the current high costs of technology had created a roadblock in space travel. Roger D. Launius claims that NASA’s large and ambitious programs failed due to technological challenges and budgetary pressures. Therefore, the question arises; do the benefits outweigh the costs?
In fact, the authors most persuasive mode was ethics and pathos. He uses reliable information such research data. For instance, he uses “In one study using activity trackers published in February, participants increased their daily step count by 970 after six weeks, an amount that previous studies have linked to improvements in body mass index and insulin sensitivity.” As a result, using a collection of data can help lead his argument to become more valid towards a better interpretation. As a matter of fact, he’s a reliable source since he’s an author and journalist.
Within this speech, there were many instances that were persuasive and others that weren’t. The speaker’s structure within the speech could improve, but overall the passion and evidence were strong. To sum it up, if there is substantial evidence and it’s presented in impassioned way, it increases the effectiveness of the speech and allows the audience to see the speaker’s
What’s Great about Space? By: Aleena Slomp Should Americans use advanced technology when it comes to exploring space? Yes, because new advanced technology gives people more opportunities when it comes to exploring space. According to “Leaving Main Street”, advanced technology inspires different college students to pursue innovative projects and careers in STEM areas.
Argumentative Essay By: Abby Hoebeke Have you ever wondered what if we can’t make another planet habitable? “If humans have the technology, knowledge, and ability to transform an uninhabitable planet, moon, or another place in space into an appealing home for humans, then surely we have the technology, knowledge, and ability to fix the problems we’ve created on Earth,” says Britannica. Money that is being spent on a dream of living in space is making Earth suffer. The United States of America shouldn’t spend money on space, we should use the resources on Earth, and we don’t know if any other planet is habitable.
“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude” - Thomas Jefferson. This quote is most notably upheld by famed astronomer and astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, who pushes through each day with the goal of not only doing his best for the good of science, but for the common good of the people. His achievements involving things like recording information found by the Hubble Telescope and other large scientific missions have thrust the country forward in terms of knowledge and innovation. After examining the life of Neil Degrasse Tyson, one could only admit the impact he has made on modern society because of his scientific achievements and his selfless desire to teach the general public not only to learn about space, but to be curious about everything, has been astronomical.
Most people hope that maybe someday travelling to space for a vacation or living on a different planet would be possible. This brings us to another issue. As the world faces issues like climate change and overpopulation, it is becoming difficult to accommodate all the inhabitants of the earth due to lack of space and natural resources. It is therefore crucial for governments to help resolve this issue. Funding of space exploration could help us solve this problem by developing new technology that could perhaps replicate the earth’s atmospheric conditions on a different planet.
This speech was given with a tone that is both passionate and polite. The author feels strongly about this issue and brings to attention a multitude of points about it. If an author is speaking passionately about a subject it makes the audience want to pay attention. However, this was also done in a polite manner. The purpose of it also being delivered in a polite manner is so that the audience is not offended.
Therefore, America should explore space because it could make technological advances and it could create more careers in science, mathematics and
Space has helped hone the skills of scientist. By using satellite technology for space, they were able to use the same concept for Earth. Even with all the benefits of space, its major down falls are cost, risks, and low chances of reward for their efforts. Many space explorations cost fortunes with little to come out of it, making it almost seem not worth it. The risk is another key factor, with little known about the majority of space, many outliers can appear out of nowhere and can cause death to anyone that happens to be working up there.
“Is this for real?” asked Alison Rigby, a 33-year-old prospective candidate of the interplanetary mission to colonize Mars, known as the Mars One mission. What can anyone possibly reply other than this if one is acquainted with such a controversial project? It is indeed thrilling, or perhaps alarming, that there are genuine intentions and even concrete plans to send people to the red planet. The good old curiosity might have prompted mankind, but with the level of technology, the amount of funding, and the degree of knowledge and experience these Earthlings, who are operating the Mars One mission, currently possess about Mars, the Mars One space rocket for the manned space voyage in 2026 might just become an enormous metallic flying tomb carrying
