While we currently have a vast knowledge of various animals and plants and what purposes we can use them for, we have to recognize that there are countless other species out there that we have little to no knowledge about that could possibly have beneficial uses. Even the species we have a deep understanding of could surprise us in the future when we have better technology to research them more profoundly. The Author is trying to convey a message about how we are just killing off potential species…
Imagine if you could live on a different planet and have more stuff or space. Well you see having a different lifestyle isn’t always good but it could lead to us having another planet. The planet could give us resources that we can rely on like metals such as platinum, copper, iron, and maybe gold if lucky. These resources could build us better houses or have more protection and resistance to the bad weather conditions. Like on Earth we have had many hurricanes that hit the US. The supplies on the different planet could give us a new way to live. We could make more advance houses than what others have. It could also give us better technology that could make us so advance we don’t need to use the expensive oil or gas we can make them more solar powered by using these metals.…
NASA hasn’t made any kind of discovery in recent years that’s been of any kind of use to us. Sure, finding out Pluto doesn’t really count as a planet is cool and all, but how does that help us in anyway?! It doesn’t make a difference if we know how many planets there are right now, what matters is that we use our money to help stop destroying the Earth & try to fix the damage we’ve done. It’s great that we have the technology and skills to travel into space, but it’s becoming unaffordable and we have bigger expenses on our hands.…
Since 1970, NASA has been planning to send a spacecraft out to explore the outer limits of the solar system. Scientists believe they can learn more about the plants and the evolution of the solar system by exploring Pluto and the Kuiper belt. There is not enough new information that we will learn from exploring Pluto and the Kuiper belt. NASA has spent too much time and money on missions to Pluto.…
Have you ever wondered if we were the only form of life in the whole universe? I have and I think that out of all the universe and all the galaxies we haven’t explored yet, there has to be a different form of life besides us out there it pretty near impossible for there not to be.…
Are Aliens Real? Is there life on other planets? This is a question many people have considered at least once in their lifetime. According to Neil deGrasse Tyson author of “The Search for Life in the Universe,” all known cultures across all of the time have attempted to answer the question “are we alone?” According to Tyson, although Earth is the only known life in the universe there are many arguments that have been made that suggest that we are not alone (1) .…
Earth seems finely tuned so we can exist. It's the perfect distance from the sun for mild temperatures and liquid water, it has a protective giant, Jupiter, nearby to keep rogue asteroids from hitting us - all key requirements for intelligent life to evolve. But the Earth is not fine-tuned. The galaxy is teeming with at least 100 billion planets. By chance alone, there will be at least one fit for intelligent life. In a multiverse teeming with universes, there will be at least one that's suited to us.…
I believe that life in general dictates that we constantly renew our ‘hypotheses’ of life. With new information, our…
For instance, if earth would explode than we would be able live somewhere else. Another reason is that we could spread the population to other planets.Finally we could learn more about the planets that we live on.For example, if we found a way to live on mars we could learn about the planet…
But there are a few reasons we should continue to stay put, at least for a little while longer. Reason 1 We should not got to space because according to the story “Danger this mission To Mars could Bore You to Death” in paragraph 2 it states that calculus and massive amounts of fuel, traveling the tens of millions of miles to Mars will take a tremendous amount of time. With current technology, the journey takes eight months each way.…
In fifth grade, everyone was required to write an essay on a topic that we had a vast knowledge of. Even though many students wrote about animals, sports, or nature, I chose to study exoplanets. Although the majority of fifth graders have no idea what an exoplanet is, I knew plenty by the end of the year. While I was reading articles and interviews about these curious little planets, I suddenly stopped and thought a moment. If all of these planets are uninhabitable, then that means our Earth quite unique. If Earth is so special, then why are we killing it?…
Is the space race really worth it? In a world embroiled in endless problems, starting from rising food and oil prices, poverty, hunger, illiteracy, high infant mortality rate, terrorism to the threat of global warming and climate change, one may question the significance of the world beyond ours. In a state of global political and social instability, is the space race really worth it? Taking into account the 8 millennium development goals, projected to be achieved by 2030 instead of 2015, and the prosperity the achievement of these goals will bring about, the space race does not seem superficial to it. The importance of human lives is irreplaceable. Thus, striving to locate extra terrestrial life forms is not worth the effort; especially when every 3.6…
To our knowledge, the sun has to be at just the right distance away from us to be able to emit the energy we and our plants need to survive but not too close as to fry us. We also have to have the perfect amount of gravitational pull to hold us to the earth. Too much and we wouldn’t be able to move but not enough and we would float off into space. If either one of these were to be slightly out of place we wouldn't exist. This, from our knowledge to date 18.10.13, is proven by the fact that in our Milky-way we are the only planet with life form. That’s not to disprove that in the future we could find other life forms existing on other planets in other galaxies. It is statistically probable that…
scientists consider extraterrestrial life to be plausible, but, till this day, there is no direct evidence…
Some people may think that exploring the space is waste of money, and we should use those money to fix Earth itself. They think that “the needs of humanity should always come first. While there are…
