Space exploration

Space: is something that has always fascinated humanity, from astronomers in ancient Greece to trillion dollar corporations today. Humanity has made incredible advancements in the space program since its conception. From putting men on the moon to having a space station the size of a football field which regularly houses astronauts from all around the world. Now there is talk of in the future having people living on Mars. Space exploration has been rapidly growing ever since it was started in…

advanced push towards space exploration. A space race, fueled by the cold war in the mid 1900’s, could not have been made possible without the core principles founded by Isaac Newton. Newton’s work makes it possible for humanity to explore further and beyond their own world. Space exploration is made possible because of the work of Newton. Newton’s discovery of gravity and its laws and published work has enabled humanity to venture deeper into the unknown region of outer space. Newton’s…

The risks of space exploration outweigh the benefits. Nasa spends 18.4 billion dollars a year on space travel (Nasa).would you risk yourself? Or would you risk the money? Beyond all the risks money has a huge affect. Money is one of the biggest effects of space travel. Each rocket cost 500 million dollars and they send 166 rockets a year. which means that Nasa is spending 2.76 billion dollars a year. We can get a lot more useful stuff than all on a rocket. Space suits cost 2 million dollars and…

We Have Liftoff The Space Shuttle has been grounded. This has led some people to believe that manned space exploration has ended. I do not believe this is true. I believe that the commercial sector needs to take the reins to further advance the field of space exploration. Engineers will play a key role in this endeavor. This is especially true if we plan to probe even deeper into the last frontier. The government has done its job and I believe it was time for NASA to step down. NASA did an…

When in Space internet is faster (as long as the device is in range). This can be useful since the internet houses an extensive library on just about anything. Information can be powerful but what will happen when a crew member falls ill or injures himself and there is no available resources to use even if there is data on the subject. On all manned flights the possible Astronauts go through rigorous training to weed out any medical issues but they can still be there. Most conditions are…

major nations worldwide are aware that space exploration is indispensable in establishing a super power of a country. The Space Race between the United States and Russia is an illustration of this belief of superiority; each country during this period tried one-upping each other to establish dominance. NASA during the span of this race spent 23 billion dollars (Dickinson). Because of these high priced missions, leaders must question whether space exploration is a beneficial trade-off for the…

Should Money be spent on Space Exploration? It would be advisable that more money should be invested into NASA for space exploration purposes. The reason why this would be a good idea is because with NASA focusing on Space exploration they would have to find ways to make stronger and faster rockets and more filling meals for long space flights. In this essay, I will examine what NASA has done for humanity as well as what their primary goal is, additionally I will examine why NASA should get more…

Should the government be funding space exploration? What has come out of the United States space program and is it worth the investment? Does space exploration have to be government run, or are there alternative ways to explore the universe? It is questions like these that must be answered when determining the future of space exploration. Despite the dream of space exploration being a peaceful one, the space program only came about as the result of the cold war. The program improved the…

impossible. Exploration at extreme conditions is worth the cost for big reasons, exploration produces technology for people to build bigger things like better rocket ships and satellite radios. Furthermore, gives us new knowledge to space and things we may not know yet and may need the materials for here on earth. Yet, people believe though that space exploration is not worth it because of the human lives that it takes to do it if something does not work . Using the technology in space is for…

On the contrary, critics argue that funding of space exploration has some drawbacks. Most people believe that NASA’s activities consume too much taxpayer money from the U.S. Federal Reserve. The public also believes that NASA’s $17.647 billion budget on space technology is not being justified neither does it reap any benefits. However, this is a completely false allegation. NASA’s projects do not require a lot of funding as people think. According to Piantadosi (2012), “NASA’s large federal and…
