Space exploration

and discovered most of Earth, aside from the oceans, humans turned to the sky. Since man first gazed up at the stars humans have wondered, what all is out there? Mankind’s knowledge about the universe has immensely expanded following the early space exploration missions. The question now is, how did the universe come to be, as well as how can this information be used to enable humans to become more advanced? Every discovery man has ever made has come from within this solar system, if humans were…

said Neil Armstrong as he took his first step on the moon. Space exploration has been around for many years. It can help or hinder our society depending on what is achieved. Space exploration can also be expensive. Space exploration is valuable because it creates job opportunities and helpful technology for US citizens. Space exploration has created many job opportunities for US citizens. It has created over *60,000 jobs. “... the space agency employs over 60,000 people including private…

complexity of space is something that leaves many in awe: such an intriguing and perplexing mystery deserves the utmost thought and consideration when making decisions about its future. There are a multitude of issues to be deliberated about the direction of space exploration. The space program is extremely beneficial; however, the effects on the economy, foreign affairs, and environment should be considered before exploring space. There are several varying perspectives on how space…

discussion on space exploration is a debatable one each side has its logical argument. I believe that space exploration has more positive effects than negative to the human race. On the one hand, critics may point out that the most significant negative effect of space exploration is it can be costly. For example, a space mission will roughly cost billions of dollars, and it would be better to spend the money to solve hungry and poverty around the world. For example, in the late 1980's, the…

birth of the space age has spurred a plethora of new ideas and groundbreaking technologies that are used in day-to-day living. Space exploration means the “the investigation, by means of manned and unmanned spacecraft, of the reaches of the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere and the use of the information so gained to increase knowledge of the cosmos and benefit humanity.” In other words, gaining knowledge of the unknown universe along with the increase in advanced technology in space and on…

Long time ago space exploration was only a dream, people saw this as something impossible and far away from reality, but that dream became true. After many failures and mistakes humans were able to travel to space, as it is described by The Aerospace Corporation (n.d.) “Russian Lt. Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit Earth in Vostok 1. His flight lasted 108 minutes, and Gagarin reached an altitude of 327 kilometers.” This first trip opened people eyes and make them believe that there…

Autonomous technology has always been an important part of space exploration. Spacecraft can be fully autonomous or can work in collaboration with human operator on earth. All space exploration vehicles needs to be at least partly autonomous because of the distance that separates it from the nearest space station. Far distances mean that communication with the vehicle will always be delayed, therefore the vehicle won’t be able to react to sudden changes. For example, it takes 14 minutes for a…

idea of space exploration was initiated a very long time ago. In the time when people did not have resources and knowledge to build something that shall let them have a start point. Curiosity to unknown is leaking inside us throughout the humanity. Wondering what is up there has always been a shaking thought for astronomers and scientist. As for today we have already achieved a multiple tasks which led us to a bigger endeavors. But what lies behind our success? The space exploration has…

Continuance of Space Exploration The idea of space travel has fired the imaginations of people for hundreds of years. From the publication of Jules Verne’s book, From the Earth to the Moon, in 1865 to the recent release of the movie, The Martian, space travel has held a special place in the hearts of human beings. However, unlike so many other fictional sciences, modern humans actually have the capability to travel through space! Unfortunately, some skeptics say that space exploration is a…

When it comes to the United States, space exploration has always been a strange and peculiar subject. It seems everybody has an opinion on whether or not the billions of dollars the government is spending on funding towards NASA has been beneficial towards the wellbeing of the country. President-elect, Donald Trump, just recently issued a statement saying that NASA will shift its focus towards space exploration and less towards climate change, stating that it is just a “political hoax”. Trump…
