Persuasive Essay On NASA Planets

NASA has recently found 7 new earth sized planets on February 22, 2017. They were orbiting what looks like a star similar to the Sun only 40 light-years away from the solar system. NASA believes that the planets could sustain liquids, the only downside is the amount of time it would take to travel to the Trappist-1. It would take 700,000 years just to travel to the Trappist-1. NASA believes that the 7 planets could sustain liquids just based off of the densities of the planets. The reason why this is important means that the planets could sustain life if they have liquids. NASA has sent rovers all throughout space and by looking through their telescopes. When NASA found out just how Earth-like these planets were and with the high possibilities of the atmosphere, NASA and scientists were filled with hope and determination “Answering the question ‘are we alone’ is a top science priority and finding so many planets like these for the first time in the habitable zone is a remarkable step forward toward that goal.” Says NASA’s scientists. With today’s technology people could live on one of the planets and colonize. People could even start over if they wanted to. However, there are some predicaments with traveling …show more content…
When NASA sends humans to space, then that would mean a better understanding of the planets other than just pictures and them making hypotheses based off of the data they already have. The is also a possibility of them just miss counting and that they may just be something totally different than what they expected, therefore it would be a huge waste to just send humans if the whole mission turns out to be a bust. However, there are 3 Earths sized planets that are close enough to the sun of the
