The space expedition has become one of the hottest topics in the last few decades. Many space research programs are searching for lives on other planets such as Mars‚ Jupiter etc. They are searching billions of dollars every year on these researches. On the other hand‚ there are many people‚ who believe that these space expeditions are simply waste of resources. Both sides will be discussed below and my opinion to which holds the weight will be given. At the outset‚ there are numerous reasons why

THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE Telescopes have only been around for about 400 years. Since then‚ they have evolved quickly and helped astronomers make remarkable discoveries. Ground based telescopes were the first‚ but we needed a way to observe the cosmos in the vacuum of space‚ without the light pollution and atmosphere of earth. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was the tool that helped propel astronomy to the next level. It has helped us understand the universe in new ways‚ but Hubble

Here is why space exploration is good. Curiosity is what drive us human to learn more‚ to do more‚ to discover more. As our Technology get better each year‚ we are able discover more unknowns and challenge the boundaries of what limit us from going further.
