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.…
Many people say that going to space is too costly, and doesn’t help people on earth, or we have better things to do, like purging our national debt, or at least that’s what I’ve heard. But in fact, that’s entirely wrong except for the expensive part, but space exploration has brought so many useful items and gadgets that may be taken for granted from L.E.Ds to artificial limbs (NASA Spinoff).…
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.…
We benefit from space exploration by our technological advances. We needed better technology to lift humans above the clouds. For example, we needed a more compact computer for the advanced guiding systems. Vacuum tubes were primitive and computers were the size of rooms. So, we improved the size of the computer to fit space capsules. This, of course lead to the continuous future of computers and made what we use every day.…
Space exploration has always been fascinating, and it gives us hope of finding something new. According to the video “Space Race: 20th Century Timeline and Firsts,” “though the idea of space travel was discussed for hundreds of years, the field of rocketry got its first big boost in the early 20th century.” A century ago, space exploration was just a concept or a dream for mankind, but this idea had been accomplished by the developed of powerful rocket which overcome the force of gravity. In the beginning, on March 16, 1926 an American physicist, Robert A. Goddard, launched the first liquid fuel rocket in history. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union created their own missile programs. On October 4th 1957, the Soviets launched the first satellite into space. Later on, a national goal of “Landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth within a decade” was set by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 (Space Race). On July 20, 1969, Astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first man walking onto the moon. The space exploration improved for the century, and now the advances of technology have pushed space travel to go further and discover other planets in solar system. However, in order to explore universe in details, many scientists have endeavored very hard to invent more new high technologies. Therefore, with its high technologies, space exploration has a lot of impacts on us today. For example, with the satellite system put up in the space, the weather forecast today has a high accuracy level, and this accuracy has helped in preventing many calamities. Besides the weather forecast, the satellite system also helps people to transmit the news or media all over the world almost instantly. Moreover, the researching space becomes a high paying jobs for many…
Its fact that space exploration is an exceedingly expensive business. It is a multi-billion dollar industry, with low initial expectations being achieved. For example by 2011, the average cost per flight of the space shuttle (alone) was estimated at $450 million dollars, or $18,000 per kilometre to low earth orbit. Many, many people in the world live in slums or worse on the streets not knowing were their next meal may come from. Still the population funds NASA to go into space, for what? To achieve advancements in technology or medicines. This money could be used to create some things right here on earth and possibly gain the same results, for the poor and ill. Also the high costs could lead to substantial economic loss and great difficulty involving money may appear causing possible strain on the nation. Overall, the significant amount of money spent each year on going into space could be used to achieve more realistic and…
Even though the Soviet Union and the U.S.A are not at war, they have been in a power struggle, constantly trying to be better than one another. There are multiple examples for this, but the biggest are the space race, the Cold War, and the Korean War. In 1955, the space race began, both the Soviet Union and USA created ballistic missiles used to launch satellites into space. Later, in 1957, after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I the U.S.A. and Soviet Union were in a race to get people into space. The Soviet Union first got Yuri Gagarin into space, but a few years later, the USA launched the Apollo 11 into space successfully. The Soviet Union was not able to recreate that successful space mission, so instead, they focused on space stations,…
The first landing on the moon was an incredible milestone for humans. It marked the end of the Space Race, the creation of advanced technologies, and the unification of the USA. The start of the space race saw the Soviet Union take a giant head start over the United States of America with the successful launch of Sputnik, a Soviet Union satellite launched on October 4th, 1957. The Soviets also launched Sputnik 2, which contained a live passenger, but the passenger died due to the overheating of the cabin and Sputnik 2’s batteries died after only 6 days in space. The US attempted to catch up to the Soviet’s progress with the attempted launch on December 6, 1957, of the Vanguard.…
The United States and the Soviet Union thought it was a huge deal to be the first country to explore space. It was between 1957 and 1975 these two nations were determined to be the first to explore the unknown in space. What they were first trying to do was shoot these huge technologic metal things known as satellites into space so it will orbit the Earth like the Moon. They also they wanted to be the first country on the Moon as well. They made a huge deal out of this and were very competitive. I was hoping the United States would make it to space first to show the Soviet Union that we are more superior to them.…
Is it a good or bad thing? In Source-C the author shares that space exploration is a good thing. Sure they take money out of the…
We have made much progress on our knowledge about what is beyond our atmosphere. We have put a man on the moon and have educated our society about our universe. We have built an international space station that allows human beings to live outside our atmosphere for years, researching and studying so that we may understand Earth in a much better way. We have learned so much about our world, and a lot of it is thanks to the Space Shuttle Program. It has been very efficient to us for a long time, but times have changed. NASA’s Space Shuttle Program has gone over budget and fallen behind its schedule. It is affecting our economy…
With space exploration despite it being a risk factor, it can bring new invention in the technology department, if we ever run out of clean water, we can find resources from space, and things that are for exploring should be explored. We are on this little planet while there is a whole universe out there. With space exploration, we can uncover many truths even the possibilities of life in other planets. All it requires is hard work and people and great things will gradually come. Space exploration is definitely worth it because it shows that possibilities are…
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.…
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…
A lot of people are asking the same question about space exploration these days. Why spend the money on space, when we have so many problems needing money here on Earth? The answer is resources and technology. Space exploration has provided so many new technologies and resources to us on Earth over the years. Without space we would definitely not be as far along in technology as we are today. Space Exploration for a lot of people, provides a different perspective, or view of life. It gives people a real sense of place in our wonderful and large galaxy. Space exploration also provides an understanding of our world and can even help protect the world. NASA has a group known as the Earth Science division that helps us understand how complex and interesting our world is. NASA also studies other planets like Venus and Mars which help us…
