Space Exploration Essay

While the idea of living on Mars may seem worthless and impractical, the colonization of Mars could have a worthwhile effect on not only the Earth, but the Universe. Space travel has been on hold since the space race in the sixties, but given the current spark in curiosity and drive, the idea of going to Mars is becoming a reality. Having an alternative Earth may seem frivolous, but at the rate at which the Earth itself is depleting, an alternative home planet is the most viable option for…

mankind.” This quote by Neil Armstrong marked the end of the Space Race. The space race was a competition between the United States and the Soviet Union to see who could land a man on the moon first. It originally began as an arms race to build destructive missiles. But over the years, the main objective has changed. Even though the competition lasted a little more than a decade, it led to major contributions to the exploration of space. After World War II came to an end, the United States and…

dominating the innovation race. The United States was so far ahead; other countries had no hope of catching up.

Every time a space movie comes out that involves NASA and other world space agencies, I have the same thought: In recent years, we’ve somehow lost our sense of wonder about space flight — about the fact that we, as a species, are regularly sending human beings off the planet entirely. And, ideally, bringing them back. And that, of course, is the story at the heart of the movies The Martian and The Right Stuff. These movies are masterpieces that tell the story of fearless American astronauts and…

impossible was accomplished. Now our mission is to find a planet that supports life. NASA thinks Mars can do this. This will not happen for decades unless NASA gets more funding. While space exploration creates pollution, more funding from the government would greatly improve NASA's progression in space exploration because it would create jobs, make a backup plan for the human race and exploring other planets could open an opportunity of vast amounts of resources to the human race. One of the…
