The Pros And Cons Of Major Exploration

Is Major Exploration worth the Risk? Less than five percent of our ocean has been explored. Is it worth the time and resources to explore the rest of our oceans? According to the authors from collection four, major exploration is worth the risks because we have much more to gain. Major exploration is worth the risk because it will allow the human race to make medical advances and to help develop our resources. To begin with, major exploration can allow for advances in medicine and technology. Evidence for this can be found in an early treatment for HIV called AZT that is derived from a Caribbean reef sponge. It is conclusive that major exploration be continued because of such discoveries. Also, an instrument used to record an astronaut’s eye movement has been used to help children who suffer from eye defects. Without a doubt, we must continue to make such medical and technological advances because of what is gained. Our 35th president, John F. Kennedy strongly approved of exploration. On page 186, it reads, “Examinations of the astronaut’s
With major exploration, it has been discovered from the that the ocean can be a great resource with wind and wave energy, meaning that it can make electricity. It is evident that we should have researchers look into this more. Also, studies have shown that 70% of our oxygen comes from the ocean. From this quote, it is made apparent that we should have scientists and researchers continue major exploration being that the ocean supports life as we know it. Also, “the oceans cover 70% of Earth’s surface, yet less than 5 percent of this resource has been explored…” (Bardoe 208). There is still much more to be found with major exploration. Only 5 percent of our ocean has been explored, we need to demand for it to be fully seen by demanding, protesting, and petitioning. Exploration in general is worth all risks and costs because it develops our
