Jonathan Chen Space Exploration There are many reasons on why space exploration has become a necessity for us‚ as the amount of money being invest on space exploration‚ has increased drastically. From 1950’s the amount of money spend was 89 million which was a large sum of money back then. While we move up in the years the amount of money on space exploration increases‚ for instance in the year 2010 it was the most amount of money spent on space exploration than any other year. A total of 18‚724

The Space Race In the beginning of the 1950’s tensions were high between the Soviets and the U.S. The Cold War had become known worldwide as a nuclear arms race between two super powers. However‚ a new kind of race had begun between the two countries‚ The Space Race. This was a race to control the outer space surrounding Earth‚ which could ultimately act as a nuclear missile path. Controlling outer space with nuclear capabilities could mean massive destruction for the world as we know it. The two

Space travel not only provides the delightful experience‚ but it also helps us to better our technology as the year’s progress. Although these are positive aspects of space travel‚ there are negative aspects that strongly linger‚ making space travel not so promising. As you may know‚ funding for space travel has cost the people in our society a great deal of money. The government

in outer space‚ there is also weather occurring? It is true. Although the space weather does not occur in the ways in which most people‚ those that are not scientists or astronauts‚ would think of. Space weather is the “turbulent and dynamic” outputs from the Sun. These outputs can be in the form of light or particles that are electrically charged. Our magnetosphere protects from much of these outputs‚ but it can still affect our satellites or other objects we have orbiting in space. Damage
