Exploration of Mars

Governments all around the world want the achievement of space exploration. The US government should continue to fund manned space flight missions because it could lead to further research on space, the colonization of other planets, and peaceful collaboration with other nations. New inventions for interacting in space can be gained for funding manned space flight missions. There are several inventions gained from space exploration. The pinnacle of it being the International…

the pros and cons of whether or not humans belong in space and why I believe that we must venture into the far reaches of space in order for the human race to survive. Most of my research has come from sites that write articles on space and space exploration as well as the leading authority of space travel, NASA. The side that argues against space travel says that it can be very costly and it is not worth the time and money. They also say that it could do us more harm than good, as there are…

back from the Hubble Telescope. People can then use various models to test their theories of other aspects of science and/or astronomy specifically. Domain Specific: Methodology 1: Think like a NASA Engineer and how they would develop space exploration probes. In Astronomy the information is now shared among colleagues (international and domestic) and NASA engineers have to look at all different aspects of the technology, the purpose of the mission, the engineering aspect, as well as the…

topic of space exploration, the authors of these two articles provide different perspectives of what the future of space exploration could look like. Kuman Krishen’s article, “Technology Needs for Future Space Exploration,”…

On November 26, 2011, NASA launched a $2.5 billion rover called Curiosity that headed for Mars. The spacecraft flew from Canaveral, Florida and landed on Mars on August 6, 2012. NASA has made several discoveries from Curiosity, as it marks four years that the spacecraft has been on Mars. “Scientists found that ancient Mars likely had the right chemistry to support living microbes. By drilling into Martian rocks, the rover discovered what are believed to…

primary goal which is the development of technology and science. SpaceX is one of the biggest players in the aerospace private sector and they have developed a plan to stay that way. In September 2016 Elon Musk announced his companies plan to colonize Mars by 2030. The companies plan is revolved around his freshly engineered Inter-Planetary Transport System (ITS), which uses forty-two brand new Raptor methane-fueled rocket engine, which has an enormous amount of power --3,050 KN at sea…

In Packing for Mars, Mary Roach communicates that the most interesting part of space travel is humanity and the complicated obstacles that come with it. Roach’s purpose is to argue that although they present difficult challenges, much can be learned about humanity through space travel. To support this argument, the author compares humanity to machinery and the opinions of scientists to her own, provides anecdotes concerning the humanity of astronauts, and describes the struggles and morality of…

The universe is extremely vast and only four percent of all of space has been explored, so why not keep funding space programs. Space programs have been around for fifty years and there is no need to stop. The exploration of space so far has made incredible breakthroughs in science and technology. Also, even the thought of being in space amazes millions. The increase of government spending on space programs will help discover the unknown, expand technology, and provide a better future for…

The U.S. government is facing huge debts, which has resulted in budget cuts in various organizations all over the country. One such organization that has been greatly affected by this budget cut is the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA). For my research paper, I aim to explore the reasons as to why the U.S. government should raise NASA’s budget. It is important to understand that NASA’s budget cuts could have a severe impact the U.S. economy. A superpower like America could…

people were wondering why NASA is trying to study Mars and how NASA is…
