The government should continue to fund NASA because according to the History of Space Exploration Project we did, it shows that we weren’t able to see what Earth really looked like until Explorer 6 was launched. This is important because for the longest time, people thought the earth was flat. Then, after that we said it was a sphere. But, we never really knew what Earth looked like until launching a satellite capable of sending pictures of Earth from space. These pictures showed if Earth was made of more water than land or if it was more oval shaped than circle.…
The NASA Space program and the whole science division must stay afloat, and continue their exploration of space. The space program has been going on since 1959, and after only ten years of creation, for they had landed on Earth’s rotating moon. The Nasa Space program must continue and receive even more funding, and the opportunities created by the use and research of NASA resources, and the opposing point against NASA spending. The Nasa Space program has been a success for a long time, but had some bumps of failure through the time. In only ten years of creation of the space program, for they had become to first program to put a man on the moon.…
The cost of human life during the Space Race between the United States and Russia was the most important in getting a man to the moon. In 1967, a fire exploded in the cabin, killing Lieut. Colonel Virgil Grissom, Lieut. Colonel Edward White, and Lieut.…
Right now, there are more problems to deal with than ones that are not close to home. Though what occurs in space has a great impact on what happens to the Earth and therefore us, there needs to be more emphasis on fixing issues on the planet before the United States spends money on venturing…
With the emergence of a new space race in recent years, the topic of space exploration has come under fierce scrutiny. Combustible claims are being thrown into the forges of debate from both the opposing side and those that fervently follow the exploits of the various space agencies. While both sides of this debate have various logical points, they both tend to follow the same well-traveled track. The opposing side of this argument tends to charge forth asking, why should we spend money on such an expensive endeavor when we have problems to solve right here on earth? Whereas the side in defiant favor of space exploration routinely counters with an argument that space exploration is an undertaking of rich discovery that benefits all of humanity in the long-run.…
Should the government be funding space exploration? What has come out of the United States space program and is it worth the investment? Does space exploration have to be government run, or are there alternative ways to explore the universe? It is questions like these that must be answered when determining the future of space exploration. Despite the dream of space exploration being a peaceful one, the space program only came about as the result of the cold war.…
During the 1960's the cold war against the Soviets was happening and the U.S was suffering not just because of the cold war but also but it's internal problems it had. Both sides settled on race to the moon and the U.S made it their goal to reach it before the Soviets did. But because the space race was all the rage, the U.S government used most of their money and recourses on the space program. The down side to this was all the negative effects it had on their citizens. Poverty percentage was high, too high if you want to call yourself the greatest country in the world.…
In 1926 Robert Goddard created the first liquid-fueled rocket, but it was not until the late 1950’s and early 1960’s that the space race between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics hit full swing with the launch of Sputnik, the flight of Yuri Gagarin, and John F. Kennedy’s promise to land a man on the moon. In order to achieve these accomplishments large sums of funding needed to be allocated to the research and development of space flight. The US government has continued their research to this day but some people believe that this research is should not be done because it takes both funding as well as researchers away from more important issues. This is inaccurate because not only does this research have beneficial…
Neil Degrasse Tyson states in the video that for every human you put in space, you can put hundreds even to thousands of unmanned probes and it would be less expensive. If that’s the case why do we keep considering humans on future missions? I’m not saying that sending humans on future missions should just be completely left out of the program. During the TAM conference, the argument that adding humans to future missions raises attention to the missions which then could increase funding to the project. Which in a way is true.…
Most naysayers of manned space travel focus heavily on the danger to the astronauts and the massive amount of resources that are supposebly wasted in space. Some argue against government funded space programs while others argue against space travel in general, but all say they have good reason. Space travel is expensive, many people say that we could use this money to fix many of the world 's problems such as hunger and poverty. This is a very good rebuttal to space exploration as the problems with poverty are very important. Yet the amount of money that could potentially be made with space technology such as asteroid mining would help these problems far more than just redirecting current funds out of space.…
The leaps we have taken to learn what is found in space is quite remarkable, we started out just looking with our naked eye wondering what we were even looking at, to now-a-days where we are trying to answer the question of should we live in space. Scientist, Head NASA officials, and so many more have expressed their personal opinions on what is going to happen next, and one bit of common ground that they can all come to is that money is going to be a main issue. With the International Space Station costing around one hundred and fifty billion dollars to just build, it brings up the question, is it worth going back to space? The answer is no, but what we do need to do is begin to do research on making it possible to go to space without sending our nation into more and more debt, How do you expect to build and upkeep a moon base, that may cost billions and billions of dollars, when the country is already 18.15 trillion in debt?…
The second reason is bundle of cost. Also their many more reason why. I do not think we should make a manned mission to Mars. One reason is that we humans can get a disease which can give us brain damage. Before I tell you more reason why going to the planet called Mars is a bad idea, it can also be a good idea to.…
If people do not keep this program alive then the world will continue on a downward spiral, and might not be able to recover in time. Life without space exploration could mean there is no life, is that a risk we should be willing to…
Why is it worth to continue exploring space In this essay, I am going to teach you why is it worth to explore the space. There are many reasons why it is worth to explore space and travel there. Space exploring is good because, we can learn why is the place where we live is like this and we can use it for our own advantages. Even though it is worth to explore and study space, there are also good reasons why not to explore space.…
Should Money be spent on Space Exploration? It would be advisable that more money should be invested into NASA for space exploration purposes. The reason why this would be a good idea is because with NASA focusing on Space exploration they would have to find ways to make stronger and faster rockets and more filling meals for long space flights. In this essay, I will examine what NASA has done for humanity as well as what their primary goal is, additionally I will examine why NASA should get more funding as well as the risks involved, risks that can be fix with more study and funding.…
