Space Exploration: Why Bother? Name English Composition II Fawn vonFrohling May 25‚ 2013 Space Exploration: Why Bother? 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

The human race has always wanted to reach for the sky. Constructing structures that would reach the stars has been a dream of men for many years. A building that could touch the sky first made an appearance in the late 1870’s‚ in Chicago. The ten-story Montauk building‚ completed in 1882‚ was the first building to be dubbed a skyscraper. Built in Chicago‚ and designed by John Wellborn Root‚ the Montauk building was the first of its kind. Back in that time‚ ten-stories was the edge of viability when

Mars is 140 million miles away from earth. We do not have the technology to take humans that far away.Engineers are constructing the strongest rocket ever to carry people deep into outer space. The planet mars is smaller than earth so it doesn’t

=Astronauts want to colonize Mars even though they would have to leave Earth forever. Although colonizing Mars would be a huge scientific discovery and help us in many ways‚ it should not be colonized. Astronauts should not colonize Mars as they would be losing everything like Earth‚ food‚ and money. All four of the astronauts that could go and try to colonize Mars on the Mars One Mission cannot ever come back to Earth. The people would have to leave everyone and everywhere they have ever known

Bryan Steller Lauren Schmidberger English 11 CP 21 September 2014 “Worth” A risk’s “worth” is impossible to identify because the result will always initially be uncertain; however‚ the definition of “worth” is all relative to the risk taker. The stories of Beowulf‚ Frankenstein‚ and the Challenger all demonstrate the three possible outcomes of being presented with a risk. The outcome could be one of three things: positive‚ negative‚ or not taken at all. A risks worth is not a result of success or

completely new. In a time frame of just 45 years we went from sending the first satellite images to Earth to sending an entire replicated museum full of images across the globe. I believe it comes back to the idea and desire of connection. We as humans naturally think and feel and thus like to connect and understand what is around us in order to figure out what we are doing in life and why we are doing it. With images‚ videos and culture becoming more global by the day‚ maybe our big blue marble

Mars One is sending a rocket with four people in it to Mars in 2022. The mission to Mars takes six months of travel! The trip to Mars is extremely dangerous because one wrong move can easily result in death‚ the rocket will be more than one hundred billion dollars‚ and there are robots that will be picking up information for Mars One. Cosmic radiation doesn’t allow a trip back to earth. It consists of photons (energy about 2.78 Kelvin). On top of those are higher energy particles that are being

Mars one is sending people to Mars to colonize the planet. This might sound cool and interesting‚ but wait there’s a catch‚ the astronauts never come back. thats right‚ when the launch to Mars takes place in 2025 there’s no turning back. When you go to Mars‚ you stay there and die there. For example‚ Mars one also dosn’t have enough money for this event. As the astronauts can see‚ the trip to Mars is very risky for many reasons. Obviously Mars one isn’t prepared for this huge project. The

The Concluding Findings Of the Mars Rover Curiosity Mars is a planet that has made individuals question the possibility of many aspects‚ whether that would be extraterrestrial or questioning if life is habitable outside Earth-like conditions. John Grotzinger mentions in his academic journal‚ “all science begins in Star Trek Mode: go where no one has gone before and discover new things without knowing in advanced what they may be.” Something that sparked the beginning stages of study about the planet
