While it has been a costly endeavor‚ space exploration has produced substantial rewards. Many of the radical technological advancements that we take for granted today were the by-product of the race to explore space. Cellular phones and satellite television are just two of these notable achievements. Search for Other Life Forms Space exploration offers the opportunity to potentially discover other life forms. Reasons for the importance of this are not confined to the mere satisfaction of people’s

that are satellites overhead. 2) To enable that‚ the US department of defence has setup 24 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. They are called the GPS satellite constellation. The geostationary satellites (such as what are used for star TV‚ DD etc) will be too far to send a strong signal to your receiver‚ and also when you are lost in the wilderness‚ you will not know where to point the geostationary antenna. So there is a need for low earth orbit satellites. The problem with LEO satellites is that

Telecommunication‚ weather forecasting‚ radio and television programmes etc. are all monitored by satellites in space. There are also military stations and spy satellites in space which pose a threat of a nuclear war. This should be avoided and scientists should work for the benefit of mankind. Man is God’s best creation. His intelligence and thirst for knowledge has led him to explore
