Pros And Cons Of Planet Fermi-5a

Decent Essays
Indubitably, humans established the idea of wilderness being a antithesis of civilization, with all of the so-called development acts being performed against mother nature. But the tide has turned on them now, with the current water crisis taking a tremendous toll on the population. As you can see, this status quo is posing danger to human survival itself; and has cornered the political bodies worldwide into forming a nexus agency, with a mutual policy of solving the water-crisis; the nexus agency being named WSA.

And, the nexus agency has resorted to a blatantly extreme alternative: space-mining. To fulfill this objective, two astronauts are being sent to planet fermi-5a which--credible to the research of WSA--has water sources. The planet,

    Watershed Journal #2: Re-Inhabiting Taddle Creek For this week's reading journal, I read Re-Inhabiting Taddle Creek by Eduardo Sousa. This is an amazing piece of literature that describes the history of the Taddle Creek, the benefits of sustainable water usage, and the essential act of becoming and staying in tune with our specific watersheds. Ms. Sousa is highly passionate about all three of these topics and uses a high degree of persuasive language and vivid imagery to attract the reader towards her point of view. The author feels compelled to address these topics as they are important to sustainable water usage (which is the moral responsibility of every citizen on earth).…

    A major problem in the American government is facing whether or not to fund space programs such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Funding NASA is the smart choice when thinking of the future of America’s society. America must realize that funding NASA is slowly becoming more and more of a necessity. The Earth deteriorating may not be apparent now, but in a few thousand or hundred thousand years’ science tells us that it will an issue. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration will not only guarantee the extension of human life, but they are providing beneficial resources and technology.…

    I have a deep love for the Wilderness and believe that we need to continue to conserve it. “...wilderness takes us to something far older and deeper, returns all of us, regardless of race or nationality to one and the same place…”(Claggett 17). It took me a while to distance myself from the bubble that is the Internet to realise the importance of nature but I have. The Internet can consume the lives of people and taking time to distinguish it from necessity and importance can help a great deal in not becoming immersed in…

    Once nature is no longer equated with untouched wilderness, Marris claims that humans can begin to “make more nature” (Marris 56). Before evaluating how Marris envisions this “more” nature, one can see that she makes the case against the pristine wilderness well. Marris seems to draw heavily from the work of environmental historian William Cronon, whom she cites, as he famously argued for an end to the wilderness myth in his “The Trouble with Wilderness: Or, Getting Back to the Wrong Nature.” At first glance, Marris almost seems to parrot Cronon’s points verbatim as her chapter “The Yellowstone Model” moves through the same points as Cronon’s essay. However, Marris moves beyond Cronon’s analysis as she places a clearer focus on ecology’s focus on pristine wilderness than Cronon, and, of course, she explicitly extends the end of the myth to impact the field of restoration ecology.…

    Writer Roderick Nash argues that wilderness is the antithesis to the human paradise in satisfying our interests (Nash, xii). Henry David Thoreau advocates that “in wilderness is the preservation of the world” (Cronon, 471). Environmental activist Gary Snyder believes wilderness to be “a person with a clear heart and open mind can experience the wilderness anywhere on earth. It’s a quality of one’s own consciousness” (Cronon, 495). Author Bill McKibben believes there is no wilderness and “we must accept the fact that no area on earth remains pristine or fully free of human influence” (Waller, 545).…

    Introduction Unlike most basins, the headwaters of the Klamath River are in the flat desert of the Great Basin in eastern Oregon, and travel through the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Coast Mountain Range before finally draining into the Pacific Ocean in Northern California. The indigenous peoples who have lived along the Klamath River and its tributaries had livelihoods adapted to the basins varied climates and biophysical attributes.

    Ever since the first human landed on the moon in 1969, space exploration has been the target of countless controversies. The U.S. government organization NASA has been a worldwide pioneer in space exploration for decades. A variety of positions can be adopted for the topic, although the two most prominent are: those who denounce space exploration, saying it is immoral and a waste of money, time, and resources, and those who praise space exploration, lauding the new horizons that it allows humankind to explore and learn about. Often cited is the claim that space exploration is dangerous and a waste of human life and valuable resources. The accidents that occur before, during, or after a mission garner media attention and further this point; however, it is worth nothing that these occurrences are statistically very rare.…

    Vast areas of wildlife habitat, the most biologically diverse forest in North America, have been obliterated. 2000 miles of streams have been filled or severely degraded by mining waste, all in the pursuit of coal (Butler, 2009). The rather benign term flyrock is defined as everything that scatters when the explosives are detonated (Reece, 2007 p 88). This decimation seems to only be for one thing, profit. Coal corporations are profiting ridiculously from this heinous activity and there seems to be nothing to stop it.…

    As a result of wasteful use of resources The Water Knife a 2015 novel by Paolo Bacigalupi may be regarded as one of the many books that take place in a future dystopian culture.

    Natural disasters are unavoidable events caused by the forces of nature working together. There is a great deal of man-made environmental disasters that left lasting impressions on the habitats humans and animals were and are still compelled to share. Some include “Door to Hell” caused by a drilling rig made by Soviet geologists, Ecocide in Vietnam during the Vietnam war where American military strategists destructed farmland in order to damage their opponent’s food sources, and The Love Canal in the 1940’s that improperly disposed of toxic industrial waste (Dimdam). The major cause of said disasters developed from excessive greed and improper use of the land. Humans do not understand the impact their actions have on the environment until they are obligated to endure the consequences.…
