The Negative Effects of Launching Space Shuttles into Space

In the past century, there were only two countries which launched Space Shuttles into the space. However, in the 21st century, according to National Space Center (NSC) the numbers of countries which launched Space Shuttles into the space are increased to nine such as Iran, Germany, UK, North Korea and Israel. More than fifty countries have approximately 14000 spacecrafts into the space (satellite debris, 2015). We can use space shuttles for discovering and researching. The launching space shuttles have some positive effects. However, I argue that if the countries are increased launching Space Shuttles, there are more negative effects than …show more content…

It is absolutely truly fact that launching space shuttles into space is one reason of damaging the ozone layer. According to Independent atmospheric modeling studies find by NASA and private research firms on the stratosphere there have much chlorine. Approximately every year industry produces 300 million kilograms of stratospheric chlorine. It is big problem because the ozone layer damaging is increasing day by day. Damaging ozone layer means global warming. Think if nine Space Shuttle launches and six launches of Titan rockets per year results in a total of 725,000 kilograms of chlorine released into the upper atmosphere (Joe Yoon, (2007)). If the ozone layer will damaged it may increase the rates of skin cancer illnesses and cataract. Additionally, it truly effected to the climate changing. The earth’s some regions are hot and some regions are freezing because of global warming (Bradford 2014).On the other hand, many animals and plants are going extinct. For instance, according to some research’s, in 2014, hundreds of animal type and plant family are extinct. The exhaust from space shuttle engines does add several kilotons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere every year (Nina Rastogi, …show more content…

Also, I discussed the effects of launching space shuttle on living peace. As I mentioned above the essay, if the rate of launching space shuttle increases it may cause the extinct of many plants and animals. Furthermore, if we did not stop the launching spaces shuttles, it may end of our planet’s life. The result of increasing launching space shuttles also the negative effects are increased proportionally. Hopefully, I believe, in the future the development countries decrease the launching the space shuttles because they may understand the mistakes. Additionally, scientist may find the solution of damaging the ozone

    Now that the Space Race is over, what is the point? Are we wasting our money? Should we cut their budget? When the cold war ended with the soviets in 1991, it sparked up a debate as to whether or not the funding for the National Aeronautics and space administration should be continued. Although it may seem like a simple fix, it has proved to be one of NASA’s greatest and most difficult challenges yet.

The conflicts not only remained on Earth, but what has been termed as a “space race” occurred after the USSR launched the world’s first satellite, Sputnik, into orbit in October 4th, 1957. The politics of space seemed suddenly more vital than it ever had before, and serious political thought was contemplated. What could space have to offer that would benefit for humanity? As the two superpowers competed over the next decade, the questions became more difficult.

    I. Introduction Long ago, since ancient time humans have been using energy and striving for the betterment of themselves, it all began with the use of tools which led to the discovery of fire, from this great breakthrough, humans evolved exponentially. Eons have passed and humans are still using fire to ease their daily lives from cooking, mobility and electricity, but due to the increase in advancement of technologies, it has also increased damages to the planet, thus the governments had started to move towards a producing or replacing the old harmful substance to a less harmful ones, but since one of the most used and one of the highest cause of ozone depletion is chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), it has been banned from production due to the Montreal Protocol 1991, one of the causes as to why it was banned is one of the chemicals it contain is chlorine, once a certain condition is met it depletes the ozone layer, ergo with earth shield compromised more harmful ultraviolet rays will get into the planet, thus only the reservoir of CFC are being used today, now it’s a race against time to replace this CFC with other materials that is less harmful and either as or more efficient than it. There are not a lot of ways to replace chlorofluorocarbon. Some of the most prominent ones are hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and magneto caloric effect (MCE).

    Intangible benefits are “an expansion of experience, bring[ing] people into new places, situations and environments, [and] expanding and redefining what it means to be human” (Logsdon, 2010). The experience gained from exploring space pushes humans to challenge boundaries that were previously thought to be only theoretical. The International Space Station is used as a stepping stone since space is so hostile to humans, and what is learned from experiments on the station is going to be used to prepare astronauts for long term flights and permanent settlements in places other than Earth (Wiles,

  • The Cold War: The Space Race

    Furthermore, one long-term impact of the Space Race is the improvement of foreign relations as joint efforts between the nations achieved far more with cooperation rather than competition. The Cold War was between two superpowers, both of which tried to compete with each other relying on their own nation’s resources, but in doing so they proved that both sides were capable of great feats. Therefore, when the war ended with a period of detente, the two nations teamed up in 1975 to launch the Apollo-Soyuz project, the first joint US- Soviet space mission. NASA astronauts in an Apollo Command and Service Module met Russian cosmonauts in a Soyuz capsule, but most notably a jointly designed docking module fulfilled the main mission, evidently showing that two different nations with different space-craft had the potential to both dock in orbit. Moreover, the mission itself allowed both sides to alter misconstrued perceptions of the others.

    The schools started changing; their curriculums became much stronger in math and science. It was more a goal to develop an engineer than attorney; it just really affected our schools.” From this quotation one can see that the space race influenced the education in the United States and changed it for the better. Bradt says, “Though Sputnik was a relatively simple satellite compared with the more complex machines to follow, its beeping signal from space galvanized the United States to enact reforms in science and engineering education so that the nation could regain technological ground it appeared to have lost to its Soviet rival” (Bradt). Although the Sputnik was not known to be technologically advanced it was the first thing to orbit the earth, it stunned people in the United States and caused an instant response.
