Other than providing for the public; NASA’s research in space has further advanced robotic technologies, the relationship between diet and bone loss and the study of space itself and earth observations, to keep our world safe. Although space exploration is great for new studies and new inventions, it takes a lot of money to keep running and the ongoing issue it that the government doesn’t have enough money to keep the program going. Although space exploration can be costly, it can lead to technological advances, medical breakthrough and increased knowledge of the unknown.
Space travel can cost a pretty penny. Although Elon Musk charges 500,000 dollars to go to mars it …show more content…
What would it be like to have a cell phone without a camera, according to Care2.com “In the 1960s, engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) first developed the concept of the digital camera. In the 1990s, a team at the JPL worked to create cameras that are small enough to fit on spacecraft while maintaining scientific quality. One third of cell phone cameras contain the technology developed from this research.” The world wouldn’t be the same without Instagram, snapchat or Facebook. There would be no social media and in this day and age the world would combust. What kind of world would it be like if you didn’t have a way to find out what is happening in your body. Without space travel one wouldn’t know what is wrong with them. It sates on paragraph 6 on 5 things we have thanks to Space Exploration that, “A space program needs a pretty good digital image analysis to locate and measure objects. Digital imaging is the computer processed numerical representation of physical images. The JPL played a lead role in developing this technology. This has proven incredibly useful in a variety of medical technologies, like CAT scanners, radiography and microscopy.” Cat scans and others are thanks to space travel without these tools, medical treatments wouldn’t be the …show more content…
Humans one day can be living on Mars, or other Alien planets. It states in space.com that “Closer to home, private industries like Mars One seek to establish a permanent settlement on the Red Planet. At the Smithsonian Magazine's "The Future is Here Festival" in Washington, D.C. this month, former astronaut Mae Jemison and NASA engineer Adam Steltzner spoke optimistically about the future of manned space exploration.” Although NASA has made it possible for robots to make it onto Mars it will be a lot more difficult for them to put a human on Mars. Although long-term terraforming projects may be out, visiting planets in the solar system remains a not-to-distant possibility, and one not hindered by the level of technology. "Technology didn't slow us down getting to the moon," Steltzner said. "Technology won't slow us down getting to Mars." Although Mars will be the first planet we want to colonize it won’t be the last. Mae Jemison described the 100-Year Starship project to an interested audience. Funded by NASA's Ames Research Center and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the 100-Year Starship project aims to develop the tools and technology necessary to build and fly a spaceship to another planetary system within the next 100 years. Though many people object to funding the space program when there are humanitarian needs that have to be met on Earth, Jemison points out that
