The oceans of our planet hold many mysterious to us today. "The deepest a human has ever gone underwater is about seven miles‚ while the deepest ocean is about forty-three miles deep"(CBSnews). We have not seen so much of our oceans with our own eyes. "Some 95% of our oceans"(Should we be Exploring) that is a lot of room for finding

Space Exploration and Colonization: Using Technology and Human Enhancements in our Race for Space Since the beginning of man ’s existence on this earth‚ the night time sky has held awe and wonder. The questions of what may exist have long been pondered and are chronicled throughout the written history of our species. Technology and science allowed early scientists to prove the sun as the center of the solar system as well as many planets besides earth orbiting that very sun. It later allowed

To accomplish his goal‚ Eustace contacted the Paragon Space Development program and asked if it was possible to have a human linger in the stratosphere. He was told that it was possible and to come present his idea to them the next day.

in outer space‚ we wouldn’t need to send as much food or resources up to Mars‚ again lowering the cost to be able to colonize Mars. How much would it cost people? How much would it be to go to Mars? Currently‚ the only company planning on sending humans to Mars commercially is SpaceX "By Musk’s admittedly loose estimates‚ buying yourself a single ticket to Mars right now (using non-existent tech) would probably cost around $10 billion Stokton‚ “Elon Musk Announces”).

The Space Race of the fifties and sixties was hardly a race; The Soviet Union dominated the playing field by quickly racking up dozens of “firsts”‚ such as the first satellite in orbit and the first spacewalk. The latter‚ completed by Alexei Leonov in 1965‚ demonstrates the superiority of the early Soviet program‚ ran by Sergei Pavlovich Korloev‚ the Chief Designer of OKB-1. Leonov states that Korolev’s “power‚ influence‚ and responsibilities...were almost impossible to comprehend” (Leonov and Scott

However‚ The Falcon 9 is the process of landing rockets correctly and what will have to be done before sending humans off to Mars. Even though‚ in the article “SpaceX Mars” explains the trip to Mars and the number of expenses for safety that is needed to continue the process. On the other hand‚ “The Falcon Has Landed” presents a stronger argument by indicating that

This was an accomplishment that will live on forever in the hearts of the American citizens on July 20‚ 1969. Ever since that day many people envisioned humans traveling the cosmos‚ pushing our limits‚ and making our mark in the universe. That was more than 40 years ago and today there has been a lack of motivation or initiative to do what was once viewed as the need to spread our species out into the stars

there have been many advancements in it over that time. Space exploration should continue because it could help solve many problems on Earth‚ such as overpopulation and lack of resources. Exploration of the final frontier must continue in order for human life to continue. There are many reasons that space exploration should continue. If Earth ever becomes too overpopulated or over polluted‚ then perhaps people can move to Mars. The world population in 1970 was approximately 4 billion people‚

From Arthur C. Clarke’s “The Star”‚ a tale about an astronaut who questions religion after seeing the work of a destroyed intelligent species‚ it brought up the question as to whether or not the human race holds the ability to create a safehold for items that represent that which the Earth is comprised of (cultures‚ art‚ sciences‚ etc). Arguably this is incorrect due to the lack of preparedness and prominent self righteousness humanity shares in times of crisis. As the extraterrestrials of Clarke’s
