Picture you are on Earth 5 billion years into the future. The sun is closing in on Earth and the Earth is burning up. What are you going to do? This is why it is so important to explore space, because humans could go extinct if we don’t find another planet to colonize on before the sun swallows Earth. Also, space has helped us learn about the moon and even Earth. I take the position that we should explore outer space instead of exploring underwater because eventually we will have to evacuate Earth, space will cost less than underwater, and space helps us learn new things.
My first reason why we should explore space is, eventually we will have to evacuate Earth. One example is, the sun will swallow Earth in 3-5 billion years. This shows that basically Earth will not be here in about 7 billion years. Another example is, too much global warming is deadly to the Earth and eventually Earth will get about 10 degrees fahrenheit hotter than it is …show more content…
One example is, the 13 Apollo missions have helped us learn about the moon and have showed people that we can land on the moon. This shows that if we had not done those Apollo missions, we might of still have not landed on the moon and still be trying to explore space from Earth. Another example is, the hubble space telescope takes pictures every day of, stars, planets, and even, black holes. This shows that eventually we will get a picture of a planet that we can colonize on. My third example is, satellites have helped us find new discoveries of Earth and they are also used for electronic maps. This shows that if we hadn’t explored space we would have to use electronic maps. My final example is, we have only explored less than 1% of space, while we have explored 5% of the ocean. This shows that we can expand our knowledge about space and the Earth a lot of more, but only if we explore space further. That is my third reason why we should explore
