Space Exploration
Are We Knowingly Reducing Our Survivability?
Although it's been 65 million years since the last massively devastating meteor hit the Yucatan Pennisula, it’s inevitable that it will happen again. This isn't something that should be overlooked or cast aside. We simply need more funding for research and development of space exploration tools. With said funding, we will be able to advance our knowledge and understand of the universe, protect the Earth from potential meteor threats, and continue to advance our species potential for existence.
Space exploration is vital in gaining knowledge of our environment, world, and the universe in which we live. In addition, we should also allow more civilians the opportunity to experience suborbital flights. This could even be used as a preparation for sending humans into space. Once transportation technology and fuel pricing become more advanced and cost friendly, the every day citizen has the potential to travel into suborbital flight or even further. Take into consideration the Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson stated in September of 2014 that the intended date for it’s first commercial flight to be in February or March of 2015. This is insanely close. As this project advances throughout the next decade; no pun intended, the sky’s the limit. We should find a way to use these vessels with a duel purpose. With each flight, if we can incorporate the deployment of payloads and/or other robotic and explorative tools, this could be a new means to quick mass transportation for passengers to the other side of the globe while releasing research devices into space. Using these with a duel purpose could help subsidies the enormous expenses associated.
We have no idea what is truly out there. Once we start this kind of exploration, then we will be able to advance our species and our understanding of the universe. Should we be able to transport colonies of humans to different planets, this could help our species survive if another major
