From the early ages, Space and the concept of Space Exploration has retained a notion of mystique and intrigue ever since the first astrologists gazed up at the stars. With the launch of Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong became the first person to ever step on the moon. Many years of struggle as well as many lives being lost has only led to greater discoveries but the sacrifices that were made will always be mourned and remembered. And despite the risks, the notion of space travel has led us to many different
The Space Race The Space Race was revolutionary to space exploration we all know today. As Neil Armstrong said as he took step on the moon, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The space race opened many more doors for space missions by proving that the United States (U.S.) had the technology to do so much more as well. According to an article entitled “Space Race” by history.com, the Space Race was triggered during the Cold War between the U.S. and Soviet Union. Both countries
Sydney Reed Period 5 Persuasive Commentary on the Exploration of Space Good afternoon, Mrs. Jimenez and peers. I am Sydney Reed, and today I will be presenting my viewpoint on the topic of extreme exploration of space. It is of some debate if this exploration is worth the risk it poses. Some argue that it is costly and dangerous, and they claim it is not worth the risks and costs. On the other hand, it is highlighted that space exploration is worth the risk because of the possible technological
Have you ever dreamed of going to space, floating weightlessly through the black void? Whether as a toddler or still as an adult, everyone has had this dream. However, there is a point in many people’s lives where they lose interest, and some even oppose the idea of exploring the great beyond. Because of this, the world is where it is now: unable to make any significant progress in learning what is outside of our planet. Why do so many people deny the childlike curiosity of knowing what goes on
to erupt in disagreement. Space exploration is one issue that is disputed by many people. Some people agree with space exploration, while other people disagree with space exploration. There are several reasons why the governments should support space exploration. The first reason why the governments should not encourage the explorers to discover the space is that space exploration is dangerous. Life explorers has been in risk, especially the explorers who go into space. They are more likely to lose
“Where is all this money going to?” Well, I am so glad you asked. These 18.4 billion dollars goes towards the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for space exploration. Should the US quit funding the space program? NASA shouldn’t shut down completely, but they should watch their spendings. The time has come to pull the plug on some of the space funding. Should we not take care of our home first? There are many needs in America. The U.S poverty rate is 12.7%. This rate may not
people feel that space exploration is a waste of resources and dangerous. Space exploration is a waste of money as the space crafts and probes that NASA builds are extremely expensive and using the best technology that should be used to help further earth's infrastructure. Robert Hanbury says “We’re experiencing climate change, famine, drought, warfare and we’re investing money needed to solve these problems in Space” (par. 3). While NASA is wasting billions on space exploration, the money could
Space exploration has long been a debated topic. From the days where there was controversy between whether the universe revolved around the Earth, because god made humans special, to whether Copernicus’s idea that the Earth and the other planets of the solar system revolve around the sun was true. Then there was the space race where there was a dilemma based on what was ethical to be produced and sent to space (such as weaponry during the cold war). The more contemporary problem involves the exploration
The modern population of the world is to blame for the lack of space travel and discoveries. Over years N.A.S.A and other space programs have not had the funding to do anything like they did in the Space race or the Cold War, also it should be a priority for space exploration the be funded. I grew up on the idea that we know little about space but after I learned via book, the internet, school, etc I was amazed about everything we knew. As time went on through I learned that in reality, we know so
billion sets him at the equal rate of what the federal government grants NASA and other space programs every year. Debates over funding for space exploration continue today; as some take the stance that the government should provide the funding, while others believe the funding should be privatized, engaging the entrepreneurial work force. Research on a variety of different topics
There have been a series of arguments on whether to fund money more on space exploration to explore what is out there or, to find a solution to world hunger and poverty. Indeed space exploration does have it’s own indirect benefits, it's still filled with uncertainty. As world famine has become a growing complication (along with several other factors), riot and uncivilization is inevitable. Therefore, if the government had to make the choice in funding only one of the projects, the most logical
always been driven to explore the unknown. Understanding every detail of the puzzling mess of stars above would be of great benefit to our future. It’s appalling when you come to realise how blind we are regarding knowledge of space. As a species, we haven’t put our all into space projects, consequently resulting in not having a proper understanding of what lies beyond our planet. Sure, we have the basic outline of what’s within the milky way, but there is a whole galaxy of possibilities out there we
Fabrurary 7, 2017 Writing prompt Quarter 3 Mr. Justus Space Exploration “One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind.” Neil Armstrong said these words when the first landed on the moon to show mankind that we have made a giant discovery and there was more to come. In today's age, the space explorations has improved dramastically over the past seventy-five years. They have spent over 18 billion dollars on expanding our technology
to explore in order to answer those questions. The questions of why this or why that are what have been driving science and exploration in mankind’s past. Those questions cause humans to use their previous knowledge to learn something new, then use that new knowledge to learn yet another thing, and so on. The big questions humans ask that are related to space exploration are what is the human race’s place in the universe, how do humans and the universe affect each other, and is there life, specifically
Space exploration should not be a priority to our country. In paragraph 7 it states that “ Whether that’s enough to get humans on Mars, I don’t think so. I agree with Keith Wagstaff because we shouldn't be greedy rich humans that don't’ give anything to the poor. In a way they think that money is everything and don't think what else their is because money is really important to them.We should not spend valuable resources on space exploration. First of all. It is very wrong for our country to allow
efforts to understand the world beyond ours . Space exploration ,not only helps us increase our knowledge of the universe but it also open the possibilities of using that knowledge to answer some of the questions that humans have been pondering over for years - how did the human species evolve ; is there life on othe planets and whether we can make use of some of raw materials and other elements from other planets. Thanks to the numerous space exploration efforts , our knowledge of the universe
Earth and colonise other planets, and to facilitate this we need to improve both our understanding of space and our ability to traverse it. The way onwards from this dangerous stalemate can only be the necessary investment of both resources and brainpower into the exploration of this vast and rich frontier.
Why isn’t this Generation talking more about Space Travel and exploration. This is our time. We still feel like it is a waste of time and money but, at the rate of which we are killing our own planet, I feel like my children won’t be able to live there full live on our planet, Earth. I propose that we wake up from the fact we are able to reach higher, go beyond the Earth. We have made huge scientific progress throughout the past 15 years. Jobs in the industry are in high demand by people being cosmonauts
They believe space exploration is a poor investment that we put a lot into and get nothing in return. What they don't see is what goes on behind the rocket launches and space experiments, and how it has a huge on all of us. The space race in a 1960 for example brought forth modern america today. But there are many false accusations today that is preventing NASA's scientists and
the space exploration, it evokes a controversial response to the public. Some claim that it could be an advancement of scientific area, while others insist that might bring catastrophic results of the law of nature. It is undeniable that modern society have faced with various climate disasters such as drought, monsoon, typhoon and hurricanes. These kind of climate influence is getting serious than ever before. Thus, many scientists have started to invest the outside of earth called the space exploration
