NASA spends about nine point nine twenty eight billion dollars per year. I agree that spending that much amount of money is worth it and at the same time it is not worth it because of the following.
I agree that it is worth the expense because with mars exploration we can discover new things in space. It may be possible to even discover other living creatures that yet they are undiscovered. It is great to send people to space because they can experience new things such as the way it looks and feels. Sending people to space is also very risky. I believe it is worth the risk for the people that are brave enough to do it. Good thing about it is that we can discover new rocks, plants, and minerals. Going into space can answer many questions that scientist have no explanation for yet. Another good thing is that if we keep exploring space soon enough we might even be able to travel or visit space not just astronauts. There can also be a lot of cons I can come up with mars exploration. The one I think can be the worst is the amount of money NASA spends on the space program. We are in a debt but then again NASA spends about nine point nine twenty eight billion dollars a year. That money could help us a lot on other necessary stuff. Another bad thing about space exploration is when astronauts have to keep up with the bad conditions they have to keep up with while traveling to space. While searching space it can be dangerous they can come across something that can be harm full to humans then get very sick and pass it out to earth and people can start dying from it.

    Space is the final frontier that we now know so much more about due to NASA’s exploration and research in geology, medicine, engineering, chemistry, physics, and climatology. Exploration in the name of science has only broadened our education and understanding into our world and our universe. This thus far has really only been possible through taxes which make about 0.5% of the $3.4 trillion United States federal budget. Once again, NASA. science is focused on better understanding of the Universe. As Carl Sagan said, too much money is being wasted on unnecessary pursuits, compared to the little amount required by NASA.…

    It allows humans to acquire different forms of data such as solar waves, meteor showers, and even for us to see stars die. Space is like a massive vacuum that has no oxygen so if a person gets caught in space without a spacesuit and supporting equipment they will die. Astronauts can also have complications adjusting to the harsh environments that are experienced on the moon and other planets, which is unhealthy and can be life threatening (apecsec.org). Often times, an astronaut will also experience sickness such as nausea while traveling through the atmosphere to reach orbit. Another health risk is caused by easier exposure to UV rays from the sun which can cause a variety of cancers to the human body. There is also risk of an unknown diseases being attracted while traveling through the atmosphere (occupytheory.org). Along with the great dangers of space exploration, it also comes at a very high financial…

    Do the benefits outweigh the cost for funding exploration and expansion into space? From the perspective of a sociologist, whose job it is include the origins, development, organization, networks, and institutions to study social behavior or society, funding NASA would be a wise choice because we could have space colonies creating many benefits for society and people. The article “Food, Leisure, And Social Life In Space Colonies” by Tom Marotta, a diplomat and city planner, made this position clear by presenting the significance of space exploration in today’s world to the future of our world. First, people want to know how to survive on the space colony. Space colonies are settlements in space that can vary in size and contain normal environments such as forests, farms, lakes, and rivers. They are just like a normal community but just in space. There are houses, jobs, and places where people can work on the colonies.…

    It is unarguable that there are problems here on Earth. From terrorism to health care and the economy, America and the rest of the world have problems that need to be solved. While there are problems here on Earth, the United States should continue to fund space exploration because it contributes to national security, stimulates the economy and leads to further technological advancements. America cannot afford to stop exploring space in an effort to solve other problems. Instead the U.S. needs to take a look at how space exploration is already working to solve those other problems.…

    Space exploration has been around for many years and should continue to be around. It helps people with knowing what is out in space. If the United States did not have money going toward space exploration people would be upset; especially companies and employees. It helps people study the complexity of the Earth and other planets in the solar system, and alerts anyone of any danger in the atmosphere. The technology National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and other companies are coming out with now is incredible. These incredible space objects are helping create jobs, exploration, new technology, and even long term survival. The inspiration, exploration, and long term survival modes are all reasons why space exploration should still be fully funded by the United States.…

    First of all space exploration is not worth the cost because it is not worth losing the lives astronauts lives. Even though there are people willing to go to space they can lose their lives while leaving the atmosphere. An example is the 1986 challenger tragedy. There was also another space shuttle tragedy in 2003 the space shuttle Columbia exploded just a few after lift off killing all of the crew members.…

    NASA should not send a manned mission to Mars because there is a chance that many of the astronauts will die. Mary Bowerman on the usatoday.com website said "An MIT analysis of the Mars one claim that humans can successfully sustain life on Mars found that people could start dying from oxygen related issues as early as 68 days."(Bowerman) It would be hard to make sure that all the astronauts have enough oxygen wherever they go. If something were to happen and there was a leak in one of the astronauts suits or where they were staying, they would die. It would be hard to get supplies to the astronauts. Loren Grush says on popsci.com "… any resupply mission to Martian habitat would take months or years to complete..." Since it takes quite a long time for supplies to get to Mars, there could be a chance that the astronauts will starve or get dehydrated and die. Unless they are good at farming on another planet, it will be difficult for them to get food…

    Space exploration Space exploration is one the most compelling problems that we face today and you might think that it is overrated and does not need that much attention, but you are wrong. Some people think that space exploration is a waste of money and resources, the time wasted in such field should have been used in other important stuff such as ending poverty, solving the worldwide economic crisis and trying to end global warming. While other people support space exploration and may sacrifice their lives just to feed their need for science, they think there is not any boundary for exploring space, it has provided us with many amazing discoveries and solved a huge amount of mysteries that helped us in our daily lives by saving time, creating…

    Nasa astronauts shouldn’t go to Mars because it costs too much. According to Space News, it’d cost more than $100 billion before the first Mars mission. Instead of using it for exploration, we could use it for fighting the rising national debt, infrastructure, education, and many more immediately useful projects. We can also research more things and find out more things that will help us here, in Earth.…

    We Have a Problem 1

    My research paper is on Science, Health, and Environmental Issues, "With so many problems on planet Earth, should the United States continue to fund space exploration?" This paper is going to show you some of the advantages and disadvantages of Space Exploration. As one would think, there are a lot of ups and downs. We, the United States, continue to spend millions on millions of dollars to fund space exploration even though, we have problems here on Earth such as starvation, loss of jobs and poverty. Also there is a lot to be explored here on planet earth and in my opinion we should use some of the money to explore some places like Antarctica and deep beneath the sea. Why spend so much money on space exploration when we haven’t even explored planet earth fully yet? Also I believe that we should spend some money on other things such as unsolved homicides and disasters happening all over the world. But we also have come up with some great things that we use here on earth that started while funding space exploration and I will get to that later on in this paper.…
