Modern Societies Doom without Space Exploration
The world without NASA, also known as National Aeronautics and Space Administration, innovation would be a bleak world indeed. Think of all the modern technologies that you use every day without thinking twice about it. Now, imagine them gone! What would our modern society look like? Technologies like power tools, cell phones, modern computer processors, and microwaves are just some of the many contributions that NASA brought to us. Still, there are those among our society that either don’t truly understand these marvelous contributions made or they are just unaware of them completely. The goal of this paper is to not only inform the non-subject matter experts of our population on these contributions …show more content…
In an interview written by Bob Granath, “NASA Engineer Pioneering Research for future Deep-Space Explorers,” Annie Caraccio is interviewed as a chemical engineer working in NASA 's Materials Science Division of Engineering. The interview narrates that “Caraccio now is focusing on developing a reactor to recycle trash during deep-space missions. Unneeded materials such as scraps, wrappers, packaging and other garbage could be converted into methane gas, oxygen and water” (Granath). The reactor that Caraccio is developing will not only aid astronauts but the everyday household by providing a better alternative to current recycling methods and practices. With technologies like this being developed by extraordinary engineers such as Caraccio in the Science and Engineering Division of our space programs there is further proof that as a society we need to continually support their …show more content…
In the article “Should We Fund Space Exploration" Farrar explains the struggles that the American people have when considering space exploration expenditures. The article states that “some ...argu[e] that the government should put taxpayer money toward curing cancer, feeding the homeless, or solving other pressing problems. The U.S. is in deep debt, so some people think that pricey space explorations should be held off” (Farrar). It’s suggested that space programs cost too much to maintain or advance. To those that are not well versed on the subject this may seem like a logical argument to make.
Repetitively by improving our nation 's space program, we not only see a return on our investment that is beneficial to countless members of our society but an economic boom in bringing these technologies to the masses. The fact of the matter is that NASA has an unimpeachable record of creating revolutionary technologies for the use of space exploration and then turning them into beneficial tools for the people. Each new endeavor our space programs make whether it is for an astronaut’s health, exploration, or even waste management gets repurposed for use by the general
