Final Space: The Final Frontier

Decent Essays
There are those who believe space is the final frontier, but before we look up we have to look down. The greatest Enemy to the human race is humans. If we can't take care of the problems here at our home, how can we expect to venture further from our home if we keep destroying it.

Before taking a leap forward we need to look to where we are leaping from. We leave nothing but trash and destruction in our wake and if we address these problems we can have a brighter, cleaner future. As well as the trashy issues this country faces, we need to face those who we have disrespected. Just as this country did with the Native Americans, this country needs to make amends with those that we have wronged.

To move forward, we need to have a strong base

    Multiple forms of hatred and disregard for human lives plague the beginning of this country. Throughout taking this course, my eyes have been opened up to how terrible our nation really is; we threw the indians out of their homes, segregated and belittled anyone different, monopolized industries, treated women with utter disrespect and inequality, and treated workers, in general, as if they were not humans. They say America is the land of the free and opportunity, but is it really? When America was first colonized, the people immigrating to the colonies deemed themselves the rulers of the “new” land.…

    From Apollo 11 to the Mars Pathfinder, space exploration has been a big event in the United States, as well as across the globe. Some would say that space companies have too much money given to them, which they believe is an issue. I believe the opposite. If space companies were given more financial aid, we would be much further than Mars right now. This has been an obstacle along with the issue of the competition here on earth between countries, and the hazardness of contamination.…

    The idea of space exploration is a trending topic with those who have a fascination with the “Final Frontier” (otherwise known as space). Some people believe that humanity should invest into programs that benefit the idea and efforts of space exploration to make it a reality. They believe that humanity's expansion into space would benefit mankind with all the knowledge and possible materials we would gain from its expansion ; they believe it’s well worth the investment and would return profit back. However, there are others who believe that space is a threat to humanity and the sheer fact that we have many unanswered questions about space can, and will, harm us.…

    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.…

    Throughout history, the United States of America has been involved in numerous conflicts. These conflicts have involved cultures all over the world and as a result we often see prejudice in our own country. This prejudice is often directed towards the citizens that have cultural ties to the perceived enemy. Having such a diverse culture within the U.S. is considered to be a good thing, but during times of war it can trigger harsh and negative treatment towards individuals that are looked at as “them”. There have been countless times where America has mistreated its own citizens because they were thought to be in correlation with the enemy.…

    The final frontier beckons like the familiar light of the moon in the night sky, but this iteration of human exploration poses unique problems. Past exploratory measures have taught us the consequences of overly zealous colonization: the genocide of millions of innocent people, the spread of hundreds of new infectious diseases, and the death of entire cultures. Therefore, entire programs and corporations work to weigh the costs and benefits of space exploration, determining how and why space exploration should take place. The most important factors to weigh when considering space exploration are the earthy and interstellar effects, respecting the organisms of this planet and those of planets unknown. International concerns must be at the…

    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.…

    After going through multiple arguments its hard to find an answer. For starters, they believe that going to space will be more beneficial than doing it back on Earth. This all makes sense till you remember that we still cannot land on the Moon or Mars. Another example is Paul D. Lowman Jr., he says, “the last few decades of space exploration and astronomy have shown that the universe is violent and dangerous,” which is a true statement. I mean there are black holes, asteroids, solar flairs, and so many more, but what can we do about them?…

    In discussions of space exploration, one controversial issue has been whether or not humans should colonize space. Space colonization is the permanent habitation of any area outside of the Earth. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were in competition to become the ultimate spacefaring nation. Many people in the 1960s believed that within the decade, space exploration would be possible. Now as the technology to make faster and more powerful spacecrafts is progressing, the venture is becoming more and more of a reality.…
